Koufaxes are open

Chris Clarke (whose blog sure is a lot prettier all of a sudden) has revealed that the Koufax award nominations are now open. Go nominate your favoritest blogs!

I do not want anyone to nominate Pharyngula, and if nominated in any category I'll ask to be removed. You see, I've already got one. It's a nice honor, but I don't need any more, and I'd rather see the glory spread around. So this year I'm planning to campaign for someone else; I'm not sure who, yet, but we'll see what kind of exciting science-oriented blogs show up in the list this time around.

Ummm, well…seven eight Koufax nominations is rather flattering. These are the semi-finals, though, so it may well be that none of them make it to the finals, and to then actually win one is an even more unlikely eventuality, but hey, here I am. If you want to vote, all you have to do is follow the…
As Kate and I are planning to attend the Worldcon this year, we're eligible to nominate for the Hugo Awards, which are sort of SF's version of the Oscars, or maybe the Golden Globes (the Nebula Awards being the other). This is only the third time I've had this opportunity, and it's always kind of…
Over at Nature Networks, Timo Hannay has posted a conference talk in which he questions the future of science blogging: "Science blogging is growing" I confidently wrote in an essay a few months ago. Then, like any good scientist, I went in search of evidence to support my prejudice. But I couldn't…
There's been a fair bit of discussion of this year's Hugo nominees around the Internets, most of it centering around the gender of the nominees (that link goes to a fairly civilized discussion, which includes links to a rather more heated argument). For those who haven't been following the…

Uh, PZ, maybe you might want to include that, at least in best expert, under new Koufax rules, you're no longer eligible, at least for this year. ;-)

But that's only one category. There are 16 others. But it is very sweet that you want to share the love. Would that others were as generous...

Well, since I'm going to abstain from pursuing nominations in any category, it really doesn't matter. Of course, it might be that I wouldn't get nominated anyway!

Ugh, and here I was thinking about a new category for Best Cephalopod Porn. Ruin all my fun.

Thanks for the flogging. We're getting off to a rather slow start - must be all the endorphins from having Pelosi et al in control of Congress.

"You see, I've already got one." - PZ Myers

That sounds suspiciously ... French.

ARTHUR:
Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.
FRENCH GUARD:
Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see.
ARTHUR:
What?
GALAHAD:
He says they've already got one!
ARTHUR:
Are you sure he's got one?
FRENCH GUARD:
Oh, yes. It's very nice-a. (I told him we already got one.)

Clearly, PZ Myers is French. And anti-God. Q.E.D.
