For reasons I just can’t fathom, Hicksdesign is a nominee in this years Webby Awards in the blogs category. Its a huge ego boost, and I expect the phone to ring very soon with offers of local superkmarkets that need to be opened. Think of all the cheese I could buy now!

Who am I up against? Amongst others, the glorious photo blog The Snowsuit Effort, and the one that undoubtedly be the winner, Flickr. Its a foregone conclusion, but nice to be nominated all the same, and I won’t let the fact that I don’t deserve it get in the way of enjoying the honour!

@Jeroen (#5): He’s in England, so it’s ‘tomorrow’ over there. :)

∞ dotjay said 1795 days ago:

I’m in England too, but it’s only just turned “tomorrow” (00:39 now)... First comment was 8 hours ago? Is there something up with your server time, Jon?

∞ Gordon said 1794 days ago:

Richly deserved and I’m not in the slightest bit jealous. Honest. ;-)

BTW with a little bit of time and effort I’m sure you could fashion your own Webby award from foil…. but of course you won’t need it, right?

No.21

∞ Andy Budd said 1794 days ago:

And there was me thinking you were just the FireFox logo guy.

No.22

∞ Jeroen Mulder said 1794 days ago:

Jordan (#5), I live in The Netherlands and commented on this entry somewhere in the afternoon, so it wasn’t ‘tomorrow’ in English.

Right now the preview says it’s April 14th .. hmprf. Perhaps Jon is living a day ahead of us and he might already know the Webby Awards 2005 winner! ;-)

Woah. I was about to email a bug report, reloaded, and was greeted with some fresh pears and what I really hope is wine… (it was a rough day). I am liking it.

Congrats on the nomination—well deserved. I’m going to organize the TXP community to send you large amounts of cheese if you win ;) !
