A dozen-and-a-half nominees, but seven of them are from BloodhoundBlog. We had a great week; there were five more that I had to wince hard and cut.<\/p>\n

A lot from the news, as usual, plus tools, tips, tricks and techniques and the kind of deep thinking that makes this competition what it is.<\/p>\n

Vote for the People’s Choice Award here<\/a>. You can use the voting interface to see each nominated post, so comparison is easy.<\/p>\n

Voting runs through to 12 Noon MST Monday. I’ll announce the winners of this week’s awards soon thereafter.<\/p>\n

Here is this week’s short-list of Odysseus Medal nominees:<\/p>\n
