They should revise the form and some of the other language because it does sometimes talk about "ScienceBlogs post" and similar.<BR/><BR/>I self-nominated a few posts and they are now on the list. The competition will very likely be too tough - I looked at some other nominees and the standard is very good indeed, with some enormous thought in many of them - but it might at least get the posts (and the blog) a bit more of a profile.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-44591659021397903262007-11-15T04:35:00.000+11:002007-11-15T04:35:00.000+11:00Two of my posts are on the list, as are several fr...Two of my posts are on the list, as are several from <A HREF="http://cosmicvariance.com" REL="nofollow">Cosmic Variance</A> and suchlike places, so empirically speaking, there doesn't seem to be a restriction! :-)Blake Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977394981287067289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-19074503165946539182007-11-14T12:05:00.000+11:002007-11-14T12:05:00.000+11:00As for punishment - if he had a daughter like that...As for punishment - if he had a daughter like that, particularly one smart enough to discuss the finer points of Rushdie's work, he should be proud. I certainly would be. It'd be a blessing, rather than a punishment.<BR/><BR/>But yes, he wouldn't see it that way.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-87460718013683922832007-11-14T12:02:00.000+11:002007-11-14T12:02:00.000+11:00Isn't that anthology restricted to blogs actually ...Isn't that anthology restricted to blogs actually hosted by ScienceBlogs?
