2005 Koufax Awards --- Best Blog (Non-Professional)
UPDATE FROM MB: So we've had the Wampum Koufax powwow, and here is the outcome: A blog can only be nominated for one of the three top categories - Best Blog - Non-Prof, Best Blog - Prof, or Best Blog Community. Therefore, the half-dozen or so community blogs which were in the best community category have now been removed from this category. If you have already voted for one of those blogs, you may vote again, and we will not disqualify your second vote. I've reopened comments, so please feel free to start voting in this group once again. Thank you for your patience.
This is the last list of nominations of the fifteen categories of the 2006 Koufax Awards. It is for Best Blog in the non-professional category. Congratulations to all nominees. You have something in common with Sally Fields. Your public adores you.
There is a serious collection of talent below. Take some time and visit the nominees, particlarly those with whom you are not familar. It will be worth your while. I promise.
In compiling the nominations, I was struck not only by the number of nominations but by the diversity of the nominees. There are many types of blogs that focus on a large variety of subjects. There is also diversity in style, age, race, ethnicity, and gender. I quickly scanned the list to see how many women bloggers were on it. Off the top of my head, I could identify whether or not the blog had substantial input by women for about 70 of the blogs. Of those, at least 30 are written wholly or substantially by women. The next time the periodic debate erupts over where the good women bloggers are, please point to this post. There are a lot of good women bloggers and, at least around here, they get some recognition.
Here are the nominations for Best Blog:
Living the Scientific Life now here
Looking for Someone to Lie to Me
Pharyngula now here
Random Thoughts: Unfair and Unbalanced
Comments are open only for corrections. No voting yet, please. I will soon open the voting in all categories so that we can narrow the list to 6-10 semi-finalists in each category. As always, when you notice my mistakes, let me know and I will try to fix them.
Please read and enjoy.
Comments
I noticed that Think Progress doesn't have a link; furthermore, isn't it a professional blog connected with the Center on American Progress? I guess Huffington is right on the edge of that definition.
Posted by: norbizness | March 3, 2006 03:53 PM
I fixed the link. I agree about Think Progess (pro category) and Huffpost (blog community). Tom Dispatch is pro too, I think. Kicking Ass is DNC. New s from the Underground is pro, IIRC, and I do not know how to categorize Media Matters. Nonetheless, they were nominated in this category and I thought I should at least post them to raise the issue. Do you think I should remove them?
Posted by: dwight Meredith | March 3, 2006 04:27 PM
can you also add a link to my new site? Living the Scientific Life's new site URL: http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/
--Done. My apologies for using the old link. Dwight

Posted by: joe | March 3, 2006 05:46 PM
Thank you so much for all this work and care.
Also, Sivacracy.net should be under the S's instead of T's.
Thanks, again.
--- Thanks, I fixed the order. Dwight
Posted by: Support Science to Reverse Global Warming, if still possible | March 3, 2006 08:09 PM
I got nominated?
In that case, I think you should eliminate the ThinkProgress and other funded blogs.
:-)
Seriously, I suspect the folks who nominated them read the categories as blogs FOR rather than BY non-professionals.
Posted by: P6 | March 3, 2006 08:19 PM
I sent Dwight an e-mail saying this, but I thought I should point out that I probably shouldn't be on this list, since I'm also in the 'Professional Blog' category. Mine is not a funded blog, but I am a professional writer.
--- Yes, David, you are as your book, Strawberry Days (which is sitting on my shelf) will attest. Nonetheless, I think I will leave your nomination up as I have not removed any others. BTW, Strawberry Days is a great read. I highly recommend it to all. --Dwight
Posted by: David Neiwert | March 4, 2006 12:44 AM
Am I too late to nominate someone for Best Commenter? I didn't realize that was a category.
If possible, I'd like to nominate Lone Primate, who comments regularly on my blog we move to canada, one of the many "deserving wider recognition" nominees. He is indispensable - informative, knowledgeable, sharp, biting, hilarious, open-minded, fierce. Indeed, many people read my blog primarily to read Lone Primate's comments.
Please do nominate him if possible. Thank you.
Posted by: L-girl | March 4, 2006 10:05 AM
A vote: Norwegianity.
And a plea: please don't simply vote for blogs with the highest readership!
Posted by: helmut | March 4, 2006 01:01 PM
I agree with the comments on Think Progress and Huffington Post, both excellent blogs, but they aren't non-professional blogs.
I second Helmut's suggestion, too. There are many great blogs out there that don't have the hits.
Best blog: Random Thoughts: Unfair and Unbalanced

I thank you for your support - whoever nominated Iddybud Journal for this award. You're awesome. I can see that I am in the company of some wonderful talent. Win or lose, I am just happy to be part of such a vibrant blooging community. Your recognition of my efforts is important to me. Thank you again.

Posted by: Jim Shirk | March 4, 2006 01:22 PM
Helmut's right that everyone should look at all the good blogs out there and not vote for them on the basis of their traffic numbers.
I'm still voting for Pharyngula, but it's only because I'm grossly biased.

I Blame the Patriarchy. I'm a big patriarchy-blamer.
But Pharyngula and Science and Politics are close behind...
Posted by: Kate | March 4, 2006 01:58 PM
I would cast a vote for Living the Scientific Life. This is one of the better blogs out there anywhere, and the amount of scientific knowledge imparted by the author ...... and through the links is incredible. Truly a joy to read every week.
--- Name deleted at the request of the individual involved. Dwight
Posted by: Brett Wolfe | March 4, 2006 02:11 PM
This is really hard. There are a number of blogs nominated that I read religiously - picking one is almost impossible. I'm going to have to go with a blog I've read from the beginning - Dark Wraith. That doesn't mean I don't think so many others aren't wonderful - and I congratulate everyone on some damn fine work!

So many to choose from...from the heavyweights like Atrios & Kos, to the hated
(by all the right people) AmericaBlog and firedoglake with their rough-and-tumble,
thunderbolt-tossing crew.
But my vote goes to Steve Gilliard at The News Blog. It runs the gamut--local to natonal
to world politics, interspersed with military history, advice, sports, FOOD and of course,
a special, loving devotion to pantsing, ear-boxing and kicking in the rotten teeth of the
evil bastards in charge and the people who enable 'em.
Done with gusto, humor, fire and just a whisper of poetic profanity.

I prefer depth to superficial breadth and PBD follows a few key poli-

enabled me to penetrate the haze surrounding the Plamegate affair very well
well--just one example of how it gets beneath the surface of regular

Driftglass -- because when I want to show someone I respect "why I waste so much time online" I can always click on Driftglass & know the top story will be a stunning piece of writing. Or else I'd pick Lance Mannion as my personal favorite.

This is like comparing apples and kumquats. For wide-
ranging and amusing posts you won't find the like of
elsewhere, and of course, all your pudu-gazing needs,
you can't beat Bob Harris. Media Matters does important
work. But I vote for Michael Berube Online. On volume
alone he excels Harris, and his witty, incisive,
compassionate writing is always a pleasure.
