Coyote Blog

I am a bit blog-awarded out, but having been nominated again, it would be embarrassing to get no votes at all.  Coyote Blog is in that Oh-so-prestigious category, "top 501-1000 blogs,"  the winning of which has always struck me as roughly equivalent to winning the NIT Men's Basketball Tournament ("We're number 66! Yeah!").

Anyway, drop me a vote so we don't get entirely embarrassed.

Note to readers:  This post is sticky through 12/15.  There are new posts just below this one!

Because of your support, it looks like Coyote Blog captured the bronze in our weight class in the 2005 Weblog Awards.  Unfortunately, Typepad is celebrating in its own way by bringing the site down for over an hour 20 hours now.    Apparently the gerbil that powers the server fell off his treadmill, and they are trying to find a replacement.  No ETA for a fix so far, but if you are reading this I guess it is over.

Update:  Well, since I see this post, finally, I guess we are back up.  I have always been nothing but happy with Typepad so I will give them a pass this time.  But I had such good intentions of getting started on my Carnival of the Capitalists post early, and now I am back to doing it over the weekend.

There are several things I want to write on, but I am hosting the Carnival of the Capitalists on Monday and so am a bit stretched keeping up with those submissions.  If you would like to submit a post to the Carnival, you can do so here (though why I volunteered for the Capitalists instead of the Carnival of the Sexy Lingerie is a mystery to me).

And, by the way, thanks for your support of Coyote Blog in the 2005 Weblog Awards.

Thanks for all the votes to date in the 2005 Weblog Awards.  We are hanging in there at third, which would be a cool place to finish.  Don't hesitate to vote for us every 24 hours at this link.  And you can then vote from your kids' computer.  And when you are in the public library you can vote from that computer.  And there is nothing wrong with wandering down the row of empty cubicles at work during lunch and voting form all those computers....

Vote here.  Make sure to click on the "best of the rest" category.  And, if you are so inclined, don't hesitate to vote for this site!  If you are too lazy to scroll, you can vote for us here.

Wizbang's 2004 Weblog Awards are accepting nominees.  We have been nominated in the "best of the rest" category, so come back and vote when the polls open!
