Administrative: December 2005 Archives

My host had a major server problem all day Wednesday December 28. I'm able to log in now and everything, but the main site URL isn't forwarding correctly.



UPDATE: Main site URL now working correctly. Everything seems updated

Weblog Awards Voting is in progress until December 15th. I've been voting, but at the request Letters From The Bostonian Exile, I'm going to make some endorsements. Not that I think it's going to make a difference, but here they are.



Best Blog: Captain's Quarters

Best New Blog: It's really hard to make this call, but since I have to go with one, it's Respectful Insolence winning a photo finish with Decision '08

Best Group Blog: The Moderate Voice

Best Humor: Another hard call. Scrappleface edges out Day by Day.

Best Conservative Blog: I've been voting for Jawa Report.

Best Media: I love Lileks, but nobody has done anything like Michael Yon. Please go vote for him.

Best Culture and Gossip: I've been voting for Lllama Butchers to help a fellow RINO.

Best LGBT: I've been voting for Gay Orbit because he's a RINO.

Best Milblog: Several strong contenders, but I have to go with Argghhh!

Law Blog: Professor Bainbridge is a very strong contender, but in all fairness, the nod has to go to Volokh Conspiracy.

Best Business Blog: Seems to actually be more of an Economics category by the nominees, but I'm going with Asymmetrical Information.

Best Canadian: Angry in the Great White North.

Best Middle East: Iraq the Model

Best Australian: Tim Blair

Best Caribbean: Babalu

Top 250: Dean's World

251-500: Ex-Donkey is a fellow RINO

501-1000: Armies of Liberation

1001-1750: I gotta go with Coyote

1751-2500: Forward Biased

2501-3500: World According to Nick

3501-5000: Evolution (Sorry, Bostonian Exile.)

Favorite Blogging software: Powerblogs (not listed, which is a severe oversight. Christopher Lansdown has a wonderful system with pretty much every feature you could want. When I was looking back in June, I did a survey of all the providers and nothing else came close. Dean's World, Volokh Conspiracy, and Moderate Voice, among others, also use it)



(Folks, my whole family is down with nasty colds, and that includes the baby. I'm better off than my wife because my allergy medication lessens some of the symptoms, but I'm not feeling good myself. I'm going to try to finish an article for tomorrow morning, but other than that I'm out for the day)
