Award Name Picked - Only It's Not The One You Wanted
In a recent survey I asked you all to vote on what a good name for our editors choice award would be. The "Thoughtworthy" award received 33% of the 456 total votes, but upon thinking about it further, I really liked the "Zen Award" idea. It aligned nicely with the idea behind all the Thoughts Media sites, because the idea of Zen is having everything in perfect balance. It also lends itself nicely to a striking design. So, I hereby reclaim the word "Zen" from the gnarled clutches of Palm. :mrgreen:
Since Sunnyone did have the most votes, he/she/it will get one of the Pocket PC Thoughts Microlights anyway. Thanks for voting everyone!

I watch a lot of Chow Yun Fat movies, so I think I can hold the torch without being burned. :mrgreen:

Sorry mate, I think you've killed your marketability on this one.... how many editors / public relations people will be all over another "Zen Award"
Zen is overdone.
Steve.

Whilst Zen may have more "depth" than Thoughtworthy, it has been so so over-used by every man & his dog in the last 10 years that its "surface" appeal is close to zero - Zen as a brand is dead.
I think you should seriously reconsider Jason. "Thoughtworthy" is fresh & new & puts together 2 words that aren't often adjacently connected so it "stops" the reader & makes them wake up notice it. It also cleverly links with the emerging Thoughts Empire. The brand consultant in me says go with Thoughtworthy - I beat won't regret it. On the contrary I'm sure you ultimately will with Zen.

Sorry, I just had to smile. 
First Jason posts this big survey, everyone is milking their brains, finally one name is picked by the masses, and then Jason picks out a completely different one...
But - and here comes the big but(t):
Jason created this site.
+ He manages the site.
+ He spends hour after hour writing reviews and articles
= He gets to pick a name for the reward.
Makes perfect sense to me!
:mrgreen: Zen it is.
