A total of 17 entries on the short list this week, out of a long list of 75 posts. 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

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.<\/p>\n

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