wow, i received a pleasant surprise via email recently. notification that i am a finalist in the sxsw web awards, weblog category.
the finalists for weblog are...
airbag - i consider myself an Efriend of Greg and i am a great fan of his site. it is rare to see an individual with such broad skills (design, photography, writing, technical, and conceptual). he is one of those awesome designers that can make me feel like i should just pack it up and find another career.
erichian - i was unfamiliar with Erich till today. i am now a regular reader. check out his alter ego DJ-e who ensures erich's day to day life has a non stop erichian soundtrack to keep him going. by day he works at ideo. a place i have always assumed to be the coolest place on the planet to work.
pixelog - it greatly excites me when people push tools beyond the ideas that the tools become confined by. the potential of blogs and blog tools goes far beyond posting what the author had for lunch. this is a blog that challenges the usual blog definition. it is beautiful, clean, and elegant!
ultramicroscopic - a site probably not worthy of being included in such company. crammed with low-brow bathroom humor and a butt ugly monochromatic color scheme. what the hell was he thinking?
whedonesque - this site is what makes the internet great. grass roots, niche communities that know no geographical boundaries. 648 buffy fans, talking buffy, walking buffy, breathing buffy and living buffy.
the winner will be announced sunday, march 9th in austin.
sxsw will also announce a "peoples choice" winner for each category. you can vote for your favorite here.
