Month: January 2002

I keep looking, I keep waiting … they said 10pm EST … OH LOOK! The Bloggie winners have been announced! Off to see who won!

Well, I am happy to see some of the winners and … others … well, I voted for someone different. Either way, I am sad to see that Robyn, Dawn, The Mighty Geek and Hoopty didn’t win. I was very happy to see that MovableType did win, and I can honestly say that out of the 3 blogging systems I have used I will be sticking with this one. I have no complaints at all about it.

A *big* congratulations to BluishOrange who is also “from Houston, Texas, where they poison the water and the cockroaches eat small children” She won the “Best Designed Weblog” category, which I chose last night to sponsor with a prize. I have read her off and on over the past year (no reason for the “off” time other then there are a lot of blogs to read!) and have always enjoyed it. It’s nice to see a “hometown girl” win it. Congratulations, Alison!

It’s been a long day at work and it isn’t over yet, but I needed a little break. I started to peek at the blogs that I haven’t had a chance to even look at all week, and then I look at my stats. In there I discover that So Very Posh has made the Pixelog her Aortal of the week! THANK YOU Lynda! I have never been an Aortal pick, ever – so it totally made my day!

While following links around, I came across CD’s site. It’s beautiful. I love the layout. I love how the image flows into the page. I love that it made me laugh hysterically when I opened it full screen on my 1600×1200 resolution monitor and it says on the side of the image, “your screen resolution is way too high”. Completely cracked me up.

Should I be excited that on the blogdex I sit there at 401, with Matt Haughey 2 lower down the list? And where are you?

Thanks to the Hip Hop Name Generator, I am now known as “Queen Vanilla Cube of the underground”! w00t! [via PromoGuy]

I watched Call For Help again last night (plus caught the tail end of Screen Savers) and heard Chris Pirillo mention that they would be discussing managing your e-mail and spam today. It reminded me of a pretty cool tool that I have used many times, MailWasher. Not only can you delete mail right off the server without downloading it, great when the worms are going around in e-mail and you don’t want to risk getting one, but this little gem actually lets you “bounce back” their e-mail so it looks like your address has been closed down! Oh … and it’s FREE! (I’m all about free stuff…)
