The Bloggie Nominations have been posted. Really, what's the point? It's pretty much all the same names as last year (with the notable exception of Uncle Willie - I wonder if that was deliberate?). Much like Penny on Survivor, I decided to base my vote on who was nicest to me. Since Bill is the only nominee who comments on my site semi-regularly, he's the only one that gets my vote. Yep, I'm that petulant. Go Bill! (No, seriously, go vote for Bill.)

Comments

i had a look at the nominations from 2001, 2002 and 2003 - a lot of the people nominated haven't changed, but some of the other categories were more interesting - like best meme, or best weblog about weblogs, best article or essay about weblogs, or even best weblog tool - those categories reflect how the webscape has changed. but come on - life time achievement award? *puh-lease.* the best gay/lesbian/bisexual/transexual blogger award bugs me too - i mean, what the hell has anyone's sexual preference got to do with it? bah.

of course, i'm still going to vote. and i'll even vote for bill :o).

Kris--did you know you made it into the first round of nominations for "Best-Kept-Secret"? Check it out at the Jan. 22 entry here: http://nyctales.blogspot.com/2003_01_01_nyctales_archive.html . You're a supa-stah, baby!

No way! Okay, now I'm all like Eminem, doing a 180 after dissing the Man's awards. The Bloggies really don't suck after all! Maybe next year I'll get to perform with Elton John. :)

I noticed that Wil Wheaton was nominated in a number of categories. (Lifetime achievement? Both of our blogs are older than his!) So did they do the secret-cabal-of-nominators last year, or was it by popular vote? I'm just wondering why he was listed for everything last year and nothing this year. Hmmm...

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
