Y<\/span>ou cba-button4thumbnail.jpg<\/a>may have noticed that the Canadian Blog Awards have started: the first voting round is open until January 21st<\/a>. Xsamplex has been nominated in the Tech category: If you want to vote for me, go ahead. Last year, we ended up at a respectable 4th position (I think. No maybe we just didn’t. I don’t remember. No comment. I need to call my lawyer). Yo, what happened to Amber<\/a> (actual link to website goes here<\/a>)?\n<\/p>\n

That said, I hope you consider voting on Alan’s blog<\/a> (Category: Personal Blog), The Internationalist<\/a> (Category: Local Blog) and TopLeftPixel<\/a> (Category: Photo\/Art). And if you really don’t feel like voting for xsamplex, you can vote for Eastern Blot<\/a>. I can’t speak for the other categories so if you have extra time and feel like exploring some (good) Canadian blogs, go ahead<\/a>. For now, congratulations to all nominees for making it on the shortlist.\n<\/p>\n

You may have noticed that this year’s voting process has changed: the polling software tracks votes per IP address, meaning that your loved one (who might be on WiFi) can’t (officially) vote. I fear a revolution is brewing. The other thing I thought was curious is, that it appears that the previous award years seem to have disappeared from the Interweb. I think this is a conspiracy.\n<\/p>\n

Previously on xsamplex (CBA 2006): 16.What<\/a>, Quelle Surprise<\/a>, There <\/a>, Sidenotes<\/a>, Not even tech<\/a> and Dump, snow<\/a>. The best quote of the 2006 awards comes from a user called ‘alfons’<\/a> who singlehandedly reduced my chances of becoming president of Votingstan:\n<\/p>\n

Hopeless.
