Congratulations all round

By jlynch on December 5, 2006.

As Bora notes, the 2006 Weblog Award nominees have been announced and there are some startlingly familiar names:

Best Science Blog

Pharyngula
John Hawks Anthropology Weblog
RealClimate
Deltoid
Good Math, Bad Math
Mixing Memory
The Panda's Thumb
In the Pipeline
Bad Astronomy Blog
SciGuy
Best Medical/Health Issues Blog
Brainhell
Flea
Stayin' Alive
Short Gut News
Respectful Insolence
The Cheerful Oncologist
A Life Less Convenient
Doc In the Machine
The Cancer Blog
The Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl

Congrats to all my SciBlings.

Oh, and I'm shocked, shocked, I say, that fine science blogs like Uncommon Descent, Intelligent Design: The Future, or Evolution News and Views are not represented. How could that be, considering they cover "A New Science for A New Century" ?

They Like Me, They Really Like Me!

It seems that Mixing Memory is a finalist for best science blog in the 2006 Weblog Awards. I'm not sure how they decide on finalists (whoever gets nominated, I guess), but it's cool anyway. Several other ScienceBlogs were nominated as well, including Pharyngula (i.e., the winner), Deltoid, and Good…

Oooh, shiny

I get a badge! There's a bit of chagrin involved in being nominated for one of these Weblog Awards, since if you look at the finalists in "Best Blog", you'll see Malkin, LGF, Power Line, InstaPundit, and The Corner listed…you have to figure, whoa, standards are awfully low here. However, I am not…

It's official

As hard as it is to believe, it's official. It appears that Respectful Insolence won the 2006 Weblog Awards as Best Medical/Health Issues blog. I had waited to announce this until it was official, plus a little time because I still couldn't believe it. It would also appear that one other…
