Much to my surprise I have landed on the Best Cultural/Entertainment Blog list at the 2008 Canadian Blog Awards. I'm one of 25 nominees, so that's pretty gratifying.At least one of my competitors appears to be an American author (Robin Slick, not that there's anything wrong with that), some have media profiles (Dead Things on Sticks), others Facebook support groups (Mikes Bloggity Blog). Some are new to the scene (Department of Culture) while others have been hanging about for years (Townie Bastard), and some are kinda odd (I Rate Science Fiction Doctors) at least one is boycotting the awards (Sheena).
It's an interesting collection, worth checking out, if only to expose your self to some different thinking. Am I the best of the lot? Uh... sure. Actually, that's for you to decide — and you don't even have to be Canadian to vote! Yes you can.
One vote per person (or at least IP address) and I won't ask again. Unless I get to the next round.
You have the support of The Ampersand.
ReplyDeleteOne turbaconducken coming your way! Of course not having you in the running makes it all the easier.
ReplyDeleteDoes it help that I am madly in love with Canada and hope to live there some day?

A Canadaphile? I can accept that.
ReplyDeleteDang! I write for the Ampersand too and they have already endorsed you. I can't say it didn't hurt....
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I'm glad I found your blog!
Cheers,
Mike
Consider yourself supported.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the list of nominees in the science and technology category shows these awards for the farce they are.
ReplyDeleteA farce? If a popularity contest on the Intertubes could be called a farce, I don't know what this world is coming to.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't enjoy a good farce, anyway? Thanks for running them, Saskboy.
