As that discreet logo over on the left sidebar shows, this site has been nominated for a weblog award. This is the vote-once-a-day-per-computer one, and clicking on the banner will take you to the voting page. First prize, as I understand it, is basically a hearty handshake, but if you feel inclined to help out the site's standing in the vote tally, by all means please do. I've already got several of the other finalists on the blogroll, but I encourage you to check them out as well if you're not familiar with them.

Well, I voted for you. But judging by the vote tally, I think the other blogger is going to win.
