I know, I know. But the winners for the BOB Awards were announced and I wanted to thank the people who nominated and voted for me.  That was nice.

On the whole, award competitions are dumb. They’re subjective and often ignore superior talent. That is, unless you actually think Evanescence was the “Best New Artist” of 2003.

(And what was up with Star Wars not winning Best Picture in 1977?  I love Annie Hall as much as anyone, but when you’re testing out your new home theater surround sound system, you don’t pop in that DVD and say “Now just listen to the way Woody’s neurotic whining makes the subwoofer tremble.")

Still, blog awards are useful because they help you find new blogs.  For example, my life would be poorer if I hadn’t seen Filegirl’s explanation of why she should win Best Overall Blog.

Anyway, thanks.  Unless you didn’t vote for me, in which case, get the hell off my site.
