Good reading elsewhere
No post tonight, because I’m going to torture myself by watching the State of the Union address.
Instead, I point you to some terrific reading elsewhere:
Wampum very generously hosts the Koufax awards (e.g. blog awards for lefties). Only a few categories are up so far, but there’s lots of interesting posts in there:
Categories include:
- Best single post. I’ve only read a handful of the entries, but the one that I forwarded to my friends at the time it came out is the proper reverence due those who have gone before.
- Most Deserving of Wider Recognition. I’ve been nominated, so have Geeky Mom and Echidne
- Best New Blog
- Best state and local blogs
(Has anyone done an OPML file of all the nominees? I see a lot of people putting them in their blogrolls, but there’s no way I have the time to do that manually.)
I’d also like to point out the new BlogHer site, which is doing a great job of highlighting interesting posts from a range of different blogs, mostly by women. Cynical Mom and Anne have already announced that they’re attending the convention this year. I wish I could be there, but can’t justify the $$ and time to schlepp out to California.

I wish there would be a BlogHer East for those of us on this side of the Mississippi.
Congratulations on your nomination.

I agree on the BlogHer East idea, that would be great.

We’re going to do BlogHer East in 2007. This year we focused on growing it from one day to two days. 🙂

Excellent. Sign me up for next year, then.
