Weblog awards

The 2006 Weblog Awards

So, Goodmath/Badmath was nominated for a weblog award for the best science blog. I was actually planning on ignoring it for two reasons. First, Pharyngula was nominated in the same category, and there is absolutely no way that I can *hope* to complete with PZ. And second, the Weblogs are kind of goofy, with very strange voting rules (for example, you're allowed to vote once per day).

But people keep emailing me and asking why I haven't said anything. So, if you feel like voting for this
blog, please do. Maybe I'll manage to come in third or fourth :-)

And many thanks to the folks who nominated me. It's really nice to know that people have such a positive opinion of my blog. It's incredibly flattering to be nominated alongside people like PZ and Phil.

I get asked this question often enough and now that's it's come up again, it seems that I might as well answer it once and for all and get it over with. First, I want to change the question. Of course they don't need to learn programming. A better question is would it benefit biologists to learn…
So as many other folks have been pointing out, the Koufax awards have come out with their "Best Expert Blog" nominations, and I'm incredibly pleased to say that GM/BM was nominated! In case you're not familiar, the Koufaxes are one of the really serious, prestigious web-awards, aimed primarily at…
This is the last time I'm going to bug folks to remind them to donate to the SB challenges. The DonorsChoose fundraiser here at ScienceBlogs is just about over. Three more days for you to help some kids get a good education in math and science. The GoodMath/BadMath challenge is here; and Janet has…
Ummm, well…seven eight Koufax nominations is rather flattering. These are the semi-finals, though, so it may well be that none of them make it to the finals, and to then actually win one is an even more unlikely eventuality, but hey, here I am. If you want to vote, all you have to do is follow the…

Congrats on your nomination.

Say, I wonder if you'd like to comment on the math behind the Unsuggester over at LibraryThing. It's claiming to show you the book you're least likely to own if you own a given book, but it seems to be showing you the book you most conspicuously don't own (i.e. the most popular book you don't own).

I would vote for all three of you at least once (in fact, I think I nominated GM/BM when they called for inputs), but their Flash thingy doesn't work in my browser. Why they need to use Flash to get the choice of one option button is beyond me.

Why so negative, Mark?
Your blog rocks the most, among us to say the least:-)
