Yup, it’s the beginning of a new year, which means that once again, I’m campaigning for a Bloggie.
The Bloggies are are publicly-chosen awards given to weblog writers and
those related to weblogs. The awards that I think I’m eligible for are:
- Best Canadian Weblog
-
Most Humorous Weblog
I
think that 2003 was a helluva year for the weblog, as it featured a
number of entries you’re certainly not going to find anywhere else. To
paraphrase the great actor Troy McClure, you may remember me from such 2003
entries as:
- Accordion vs. Rock Star!
- The blog and my Tucows job interview
- My Carnival of the Canucks marathon:
- Meeting sci-fi author Neal Stephenson (here, here and here)
- The Best Accordion Picture Ever
- My Hot Tub pictures
- Worst Date Ever, waxing philosophical about it and the denouement
- The Infamous “New Girl” Story
As well as earlier entries including:
- The one with my trash-talking accountant
- The one where I talk about all my New Year’s Eves since 1989
- The one where the con man visits my house
- The one where the accordion gets me invited to join a stagette in San Francisco
- The one where the accordion saves my ass in customs
- The one where my accordion gets me a job as a go-go dancer
- The one where the accordion gets me a job while I’m on a date
- The one where I buy my friend some crablouse cream for Christmas
Pretty
wild stuff. Can any other blogger boast these acheievemets?
- Has Jason
Kottke
ever had to buy crablouse medicine for a friend? - Has Cory
Doctorow
ever had a date end the evening screaming the the fetalposition?
- Can Doc Searls go-go dance? (I get the feeling that Halley Suitt, Cheyenne and Madison “Moxie” Slade can, however…)
- Has Joi Ito ever been invited into a limo full of women?
Then again, I think Joi has, knowing him.
But that’s not the point. The point is that you get lots of entertainment bang for the no-bucks here at The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century.
All I ask for in return in a Bloggie nomination. Give the above links a
read, and if you think I deserve a nomination, please head on
over to the Bloggie nomination page and nominate this blog!

Done, already, Mr. Accordion Guy !!

Done ….. it’s the least I can do in return for all the fun. Joey, you restore my faith in young men …
Voted for you in both categories, Joey, and even voted for Blogware in the web tools category (though I also voted for MT and TypePad).
I was going to solicit your return vote for a category such as “Best Blog About Religion,” but there’s no category that fits. Oh, well, that’s better for my vanity.
AKMA, I nominated you for “Best Topical Weblog”.
Done!
I put you in for Best Canadian Weblog, and *gasp* Weblog of the Year
Oh, and Blogware for best blogtool – because it looks s’darned good.
(If only there were a “Best Accordion-wearing hipster” category…)
