The Spacemonkeys
It’s my great pleasure to announce the first annual NZBC Blog Awards, the Spacemonkeys! To enter do absolutely nothing because I’ve already made up my mind.
Having found myself in a blog surfing rut, going to the same old suspects over and bloody over, I decided to have a good tool around and see what else was on offer. You know, meet some new people, have a chat over the back fence …
So I went to www.globeofblogs.com and started working my way through the New Zealand blogs listed there.
Jesus you guys really do some crap blogs! I mean there were so many that were just dead or hadn’t been used in ages and others with the most awful colours. Freudian Slippers has a great name (though not as good as error404 – page not found) but despite declaring “even if you don't want my opinion you are going to get it anyway” there is nothing there. Similarly imagine hitting a link to Muse and finding your muse had flown.
Here's one that promises "a repository of articles, documents and links that reflect our intellectual and philosophical journey through the world of blended e-learning and knowledge management."
Maybe after a smoke, dude ...
Here’s skeleton racing (no, not a goth site) and blogs about martial arts and about opera, none of which I'm into so you all lose.
On the other hand Jimi Kumara’s blog (The Jimi Page) is funny as is the Vile File and error404- page not found is really extraordinarily good. Specialfarm has a bit of the Boingboing about it, and that’s a compliment.
Anyway, the votes are in and first annual NZBC New Zealand Web Log award goes to (drumroll, puhlease) …. Error404- page not found! Runners up were The Jimi Page, the Vile File and Specialfarm, in no particular order.
Congratulations one and all! Buy yourselves a drink.
By order of the Director-General, no further correspondence will be entered into.

Hurrah!
I shall buy myself several drinks, as the award process was obviously flawed, and I should have won.
I humbly crawl out of my dark little hole in NZ to say thanks, you know, if you'd said that I wrote the biggest pile of shit in the universe, I'd have been equally as flattered.
Did you know that we're all fucking psychopaths?
Just wondered.
