Perfect Post and Weblog Awards

It was easier than usual this month to select my Perfect Post Award recipient. Andrew from The Gunsmoke Files doesn’t write often, but when he does, it’s always good. In his post Gimme Shelter he matter-of-factly gives his observations on the homeless in Denver. He didn’t get overly emotional, which just made what he had to say more compelling. See the entire list of October Perfect Post Awards at Petroville and at Suburban Turmoil.

The finalists in the 2007 Weblog Awards have been named. Quite a few of my friends and favorites made the cut! They are: The Presurfer for Best Blog, deputy dog for Best New Blog, Jon Swift and Boobs, Injuries, and Dr. Pepper for Funniest Blog, xkcd and Basic Instrucions for Best Comic, Fark for Best Online Community, Shakesville for Best Liberal Blog, NYC Educator for Best Education Blog, Bad Astronomy Blog for Best Science Blog, and Crooks and Liars for Best Video Blog. Congratulations to all! See the list of finalists here.

Update: Congratulations to Jesus’ General, Driftglass, Simply Left Behind, and Konagod, who are all finalists in the Ecosystem categories, which were announced after I posted this yesterday.
