vote early (if not often)

Much to my surprise, we've been nominated for a Bloggie award, in the category of Best Group Weblog. danah and I will both be at SXSW, where the awards will be presented, and I'd be delighted if misbehaving.net got a little visibility at that conference. So, if you enjoy the site (and I get a lot of offline comments from people who do), it would be great if you'd cast a vote for us.

There are some other women's blogs that deserve consideration for their awards, as well. In the "Best Programming of a Web Site" category, three of the five nominees are written by women--Big Pink Cookie, ScriptyGoddess, and The Girlie Matters. The latter two show up again in "Best Web Development Blog."

And while she's not tech-focused, my friend Allison Kaplan Sommer has had her blog ("An Unsealed Room") nominated for best Middle Eastern Blog. She's up against Raed (and some other great blogs, as well), but as a sort of blogparent (and as a regular reader), I have to put in a plug for her. And another non-tech blog by a woman that I voted for was Clotilde's marvelous "Zucchini & Chocolate, which is mouth-wateringly written.
