You control the presentation by selecting a field of achievement or a quality essential for success. Meet the leaders, discoverers and creators who shape the world in which we live. From them you will learn the secrets to achieve more than you ever dreamed possible. This has been added to Student Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

My lifetime achievement? You're looking

My lifetime achievement? You're looking
at it, baby...
03/14/2005 05:52 PM

So I'm going to start this post with a comment that someone just posted on my site, because I think it's possibly the funniest thing I've ever read and I'm too sheepish to start the damn thing in any other way:

Congrats on the Bloggie! I don't suppose you grew up in York, did you? Cos I used to babysit for a kid called Thomas Coates... and if it was you, you may well remember me, seeing as I was the babysitter who burnt your house down while babysitting for you... for which I am supremely sorry.

Thanks for the comment Clare, but no, I'm afraid to say that you never burned down my family home. I almost feel guilty that I'm the wrong Tom after such a heartfelt apology!

Anyway, so this was all a sneaky way of talking about the Bloggies which were announced today. I was really surprised when plasticbag.org got nominated for anything and I'm even more surprised that I won anything. But to win both Best British Weblog and Lifetime Achievement... Wow... The only real response that I can come up with is that I clearly don't deserve it, and I'm so sorry that my site's been of such mediocre quality over the last year. But particular thanks to everyone anyway because it's completely bloody awesome!

Cred as ever goes to awesome and totally potent co-nominees over both categories who mostly rock way more than I do. I reassure myself that they're all going to win the greater karmic battle because they're way more deserving. So first off - all of you should go read more English weblogs and stuff cos they're great:

And woot to all the lifetimers. God we're so old...

Oh and to help dissolve the horror of my ever-expanding ego, it's probably only appropriate that I burst my own bubble by posting this hideous picture that Paul Hammond took of me shortly after I heard the news. Mmm. Classy.

I'd like to thank the Academy...


I'd like to thank the Academy... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for plasticbag.org at the Bloggies, where I've accidentally picked up Best British or Irish weblog. I'm particularly surprised given given the quality of the other candidates: Going Underground's Blog, A Teenager Blogs, Greenfairy.com and The Big Smoker.

More importantly, I'm genuinely delighted to report that I somehow won the Best Essay Bloggie as well for (Weblogs and) The Mass Amateurisation of (Nearly) Everything. If anything I think that one is the more important to me because I spent a long-time writing that piece and thinking around it and I think it's one of the best things I've written. I'd love it if more people read it and responded. So thanks again to everyone involved!

The big winner of the night was Boing Boing, who took home the Best American Weblog, Best Group Weblog and Weblog of the Year. I'm kind of surprised - given Cory's alleged nationality - that they didn't win Best Canadian Weblog too! Lifetime achievement rightly went to Heather Champ, whose creative output online has been astonishing for as long as I can remember. Well done!

The March 15 issue of Library Journal is out, and it includes the Movers & Shakers 2003 supplement. I'm honored to say that I received a most fine write-up and am listed as a "Teacher." I like that because both of my parents are educators, so I feel like I'm holding up the family tradition.

In addition, lots of other shifted librarians are highlighted, including Carr ie Bickner, Andr ew Mutch, and Char les W. Bailey, as well as Caro l Gulyas, with whom I have the good fortune to be working on the Illinois reference portal! Congratulations to everyone listed and thanks LJ!

Academy Piracy Case Solved


Academy Piracy Case Solved 01/25/2004 10:32 AM

FBI makes arrest in Oscar screener piracy: Kind of a sad story here. A "friend" of an elderly Academy member convinced him to send him the screeners he got every year. The videos were promptly pirated.

Carmine Caridi admitted in an affidavit released Thursday that he sent every so-called "screener" videotape he's received for the past three years to an acquaintance in the Chicago area, Russell W. Sprague.

Sprague, 51, was arrested at his home in Homewood, Ill., on Thursday after a search of his home turned up hundreds of films, many of which had been converted to DVD format and had the Academy's encryption code erased, along with an array of duplicating equipment, authorities said.

One thing we learned is that the Academy's tracing technology works. They tracked this all back to the source via a digital watermark on the movies which indicated who they had been sent to.
