Apparently there are awards for blogs. The blogs that people actually read, anyway. The ones that are closer to the bright center of the blogosphere.
This year, there is an award for best science blog and the Bad Astronomer has summoned his legions and asked them to encourage their own readers to vote for The Bad Astronomy Blog. There is intense rivalry between the astronomer and the biologist who runs Pharyngula who feels he should win.
I’m voting for the Bad Astronomy Blog because it’s one of my daily reads and it keeps me connected with a passion I’ve had all my life. I encourage you to do likewise, but regardless of who wins, I feel lucky to have found out about Pharyngula, which is a very cool science blog and will probably become a daily read as well.
The best thing about this? Everyone may vote more than once. I suspect even the dead are allowed to vote. Of course what should I expect in this outlaw region that is the blogosphere.
