Some news first:
The first of the BloodhoundBlog Unchained lapel pins sold for $20.50. The second auction closes in about 24 hours.
Todd Carpenter is hosting a contest for the funniest RE.net blog post for 2007. I am badly eclipsed in a contest like this — where’s the award for Exotic Quixotism? — but I expect a number of posts from BloodhoundBlog to make the short list. (Nominate yourselves, y’all; nothing ever makes if off my to-list.)
Now then: The Odysseus Medal nominees: A dozen entries on the short list this week, and, again, a lot of Deep Think stuff. Vote for the People’s Choice Award here. You can use the voting interface to see each nominated post, so comparison is easy.
Ahem: Please don’t spam all your friends to come and vote for you. First, what we’re interested in is what is popular among people who would have been voting anyway. And second, I’ll eliminate you for cheating. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Voting runs through to 12 Noon MST Monday. I’ll announce the winners of this week’s awards soon thereafter.
Here is this week’s short-list of Odysseus Medal nominees:
- Dan Green — Foreclosures, Why Healthy Bodies and Healthy Marriages May Be More Relevant To Slowing Foreclosures Than Interest Rate Adjustments
- Kris Berg — Concurrent closings, Newton’s Umpteenth Law – Concurrent Closings
- Chris McKeever — Listings portals, A [HAR]d Lesson
- Joel Burslem — Scripps, Scripps Cracks Open the Door
- Gary Elwood — Online marketing, The 3 Commandments of Online Marketing You Must Obey
- Kevin Boer — Redfin, The Lessons Of Redfin, Part I: The Marketing Value Of The Obvious
- Krista Baker — Emotional needs, Do You Address Your Clients’ Emotional Needs?
- Kris Berg — RESPA, What’s my real estate license worth? More than a hundred bucks.
- Brian Brady — Sub-prime oil, We’re All Sub-Prime Borrowers (Who Consume Oil)
- Brian Boero — Blurred vision, Blurred vision
- Bill Leider — What is a brand?, What Is A Brand?
- Rhonda Porter — Closing procedures, Major Proposed Changes for Residential Closings in 2008
Deadline for next week’s competition is Sunday at 12 Noon MST. You can nominate your own weblog entry or any post you admire here.

What? No one nominated my post with the funny hats? I am simply not believing this.
The Odysseus Medals for December 17 are now posted…
at the BloodhoundBlog for the best writing in the real estate blogosphere. There was no post deemed outstanding…
[...] Kris Berg wins again. This time for her remarkable post showing men wearing funny hats while eating. She even commented on her right to win with that post here. It is with great pride that this particular award is bestowed on Kris. She, will of course win other awards for this post, but those are not awarded by me. This one is. Congratulations Kris! [...]
