Friends of Lulu nominations are up, and now you, the general public, can vote for your favorites. I was honored to be asked to be a judge this year, so I supplied a nomination in each category. However, so many of the other nominees were on my short list that I actually had to go back and check my e-mail to see which came from me. I may be biased, but I do think we came up with a very good list.

Good links today! The Filipe Smith article is a wonderful, smart read and it was was quite amusing to see that “Japa-tastic” cameo. ;)
The choices for LuLu were very good, at least for the things I read and felt comfortable voting on. Kudos to you and the other judges.
