I'm up for a BloggieI'm up for a BloggieI'm up for a Bloggie 01/22/2004 03:06 AM Hot on the heels of a top-ranking Lovemark, I just learned that this weblog's tagline is up for a 2004 Bloggie. At least I'm not up against the almighty Boing Boing again. Regardless, I'd like to wish good luck to Mighty Girl, Rhys Wynne, Sabrina Faire, and Tenth-Muse. May you all prove my tagline incorrect! *wink*... This is a GrokNews Entry: (what is grok?)I'm up for a BloggieGrok Headline matches for I'm up for a BloggieHow to Get a BloggieHow to Get a Bloggie 04/09/2004 04:02 PM Completely ignore your website for weeks on end, apparently. Gosh, so much has been going on.
Bloggie, bl0ggie, bl0ggie, bl0ggie etc.Bloggie, bl0ggie, bl0ggie, bl0ggie etc. 02/01/2005 09:34 PM It's Bloggie Nomination time again and I'm up for two awards this year - Best UK / Irish weblog and - gulp - lifetime achievement. And of course, typically, as soon as lots of people start linking to my site I can't think of anything whatsoever to say - total stage-fright. Given how slack I've been on my site this year, and how little I feel that I've managed to contribute to the ongoing debates and discussions around the web, I have to say I'm surprised by the nominations. But it's a nice feeling anyway. Thanks guys. I'd like to say thank you to all the drunk people who nominated me in the first place. And to all the care-in-the-community folk they found to do the first-round judging - you guys are the best! Now all I need to do is to hope that the entire community of webloggers neglects to take their lithium before they vote. And with sublime confidence that this is precisely what will happen, I say to my design inspiration and creative motivator Derek Powazek and to my arch Gaybolian nemesis Ernie - bring it on! But it's not all good news. Neither Ernie nor I are up for the gay weblogger award this year. Other notable absences include Sparky, Bravo and Simon. So now the torch must pass to How to Learn Swedish, SistersTalk, Tranniefesto, Troubled Diva and Hot Toddy's Toaster Oven. It's up to you guys now to keep up the tradition of bitchy ironic gay gang-fighting that we've established over the last four years. It's always been the most fun award to contest, even when the nominees aren't strictly gay. So basically, I actually really like the Bloggies. I may as well just say it out loud. I mean, it's clear that there's a bit of a self-involved culture thing going on and yeah a block of the same people get nominated every year - but it doesn't take itself too seriously, the weblogs are interesting and often beautiful, and most importantly it's a set of awards that have emerged from within the culture of webloggers itself. It's not been imposed from outside, it's not about the weblog nation dancing for the 'real people' and it's not being judged by the criteria of another medium. I think it's cool. And Nikolai always makes the site look so nice. So in the spirit of discovery and investigation, here are my top new finds and nods to the classics that I've come across from flicking through some of the nominees:
PS. Vote for me! Bloggie Howser, M.D.Bloggie Howser, M.D. 03/24/2005 02:32 PM After I posted about the DVD for season one of Doogie Howser, M.D. being the worst DVD release ever last week, a reader emailed me the following:
Awesome. Doogie, you trailblazer, I'm sorry I bashed you. Update: I've gotten two emails about prior art on this. Pete asks if Mr. Belvedere would count since he wrote in a journal during every show, and J. Curtis believes that Captain Kirk was one of the first audio bloggers (or perhaps podcasters?) for doing his captain's log each episode. 2005 Bloggie Winners2005 Bloggie Winners 03/14/2005 06:06 PM You know something goes mainstream when it has its own goofy awards show. The winners of this year's Bloggie awards have been announced,
A few of the winners are probably already the targets of your agregator's frequent attacks, but looking through the list of winners and runners-up seems like a great way to hear about some cool blogs you may have missed. I particularly enjoyed the 'Best Meme' and 'Best Tagline' categories (but I think our buddy dz should have been in the running for best tagline).

Last year, thanks to your generous votes, Boing Boing won four Bloggies, including Best Weblog. It was a stupendous honor to accept these awards on behalf of my co-editors, and I've got one of the certificates hanging beside my desk now; it gives me a good feeling every time I look at it. I've just done my nominating -- I hope you'll think of Boing Boing when you do yours. Link Gizmodo Wins 2005 Bloggie AwardGizmodo Wins 2005 Bloggie Award 03/14/2005 06:02 PM
Congratulations to our brothers and sisters as well, as Defamer wins two Bloggies, including the very much deserved 'Best New Weblog' (the man makes an art of the buggery metaphor) and Wonkette brings home the 'Best Weblog About Politics' award, where the award was immediately offered a book deal. Seriously, guys.

I didn't get to play it, but I watched him quite a bit. X-Box Live is hailed as the big thing that propels Halo 2 into gaming infamy. However, in watching my brother play, I was struck by how much it looked like a similar, older game: Tribes. It was perhaps more graphically advanced than Tribes, but it didn't look much better than Tribes 2. Gameplay dynamics seemed pretty much the same. My brother was amazed at the idea of playing people from around the world in a giant game of capture the flag, but I just couldn't kick the thought that I had seen this all before. Is there anyone who has played both Halo 2 and Tribes 2 that can comment on how similar they are or which is better? Is Halo 2 that good, or is it just Tribes 2 for the console-playing masses?

That game had dozens of sites, each containing cryptic clues and arduous puzzles. When the game was over, just before its masterminds disappeared, they promised something even bigger - something that they said would change the world. That was three years ago.

word from our man on the ground in Austin at SXSW (codename: COCKPARTS

guys are making us get a little bit weepy, which is bad for our
