Whoa. In Passing got nominated for a Bloggie.

I find it more than vaguely amusing that the site was nominated the year when I've probably posted the least, thanks to a newfound reluctance to quote the people I now spend ten hours a day with -- my co-workers. (My co-students in college were somehow fair game.)

Have I mentioned I'm surprised? In fact, I'm so surprised that I suspect some sort of orchestrated fan effort, (you crazy kids), but I'll suspend my incredulity and just to say thanks all the people who nominated the site. In Passing is nominated in some pretty serious company. LYD is one of my favorite reads, and one of the other nominees has an HBO Special.

So I suspect that to some bloggers the Bloggies are old hat, mainstream, the anti-bloggies are the hip newness (or maybe they're up to the anti-anti-bloggies by now.) But it's not every day that my weblog is put on par with some blogging superstars and the weblog of someone who is funny for a living, and I think that's pretty cool. Thanks.
