< blogger showdown >

I was asked to be a judge for the "ultimate blogger" contest my internerd overlords are throwing. we would look over all the applicants (over 300!) and pick a pool of finalists.

the stack of apps
they expected it to be mostly among those in our net 'hood, the UrHo (mad props to my homies)
but suddenly there were people streaming in from all over the world. it was amazing.

we diligently read every blog, checked out every link.

the night grew long

finally we had our piles of no.s and yes-maybes.

then came the pontificating and the debating. we wanted it to be a good mix.


faces went up, faces came down.

serious deliberations

suddenly it was half past two in the morning

and we had our pool of finalists

the 12 competitors will be announced tomorrow morning on

you can see it all go down on their battle royale island of the bloggersteins
