This is a first, because usually I ineffectually nominate myself for these things in an attempt to bolster my own self-worth. I wasn’t paying attention when I was nominated as a Philly Future featured blog.
Philly Future is what I consider the epicenter for my Philly readings. Disclosure: I’m not actually a resident of Philadelphia. I live in the suburbs (Downingtown) where I can shake my head and sigh as the city news flies by in Philly Future posts. Of course, the state and national issues are of interest to me (especially things like net neutrality), and the entertainment announcements are helpful in deciding what to do on the weekends.
If you’re stopping by for the first time as a result of the vote, let me give you a brief rundown of essential details of the blog. I’ve been blogging since November of 1999. I typically blog about whatever comes to mind, as such Asymptomatic is typically not a good candidate for awards because I’m never focused enough. However, as Albert points out in his nomination of my site, I think the commentary is what makes the site worth notice.
In spite of having over 2000 posts logged, there are 5600+ comments here. Of course all of the frequently commented posts are the controversial ones, and I warn you that without knowing me better (at least by reading posts more regularly) you might find them odd or even off-putting. But I’m sneaky because I often write posts to promote that reaction.
You can find a sampling of “best of” posts on my five-year anniversary post.
If you’re wondering where the posts are, try clicking the tags you’ll find at the top-right and to the right of this post to see some more navigable links. I like to keep things tidy here.
Also, You should really check out the other two nominees for featured blog, Amen, the Gospel According to Wook and Starting a Landslide in my Ego, who are putting on a good show. Possibly better than me, really, depending on the kind of thing you like to read.
But after that, you need to vote for me.
Philly Future requires a login to vote. You can register very easily using the appropriate link under the photo at the top of their site. After you’ve registered, return to the voting page to vote!
