And the Winner is….
Polling in the 2007 Weblog Awards has closed, and the winners have been announced.
Congratulations to Tim Blair who just pipped All Men Are Liars by 21 votes to take out the Best Australia or New Zealand Blog category.
Thanks to everyone who voted to keep me out of last place – I finished (a not too embarrassing) 6th.
It looks like two of the Aussie contingent have won their categories!
A hearty congratulations to BAZZY BOY – RACING LEGEND OF SORTS who managed to hold off I can has Cheezburger to take out the Best Pet Blog category.
Bazzy celebrated his win with a wheelbarrow full of carrots, and was last seen “…burping, farting and gloating”!
And also The Cool Hunter for taking out the Best Culture Blog (thanks to Anthony for letting me know this was up for nomination).

In other news, I had such a productive day yesterday! I got stuck into my backlog of work, all but banned myself from the internet, and worked solidly for 9 hours.
Gee it’s a great feeling when you get on top – I really should do it more often! Positive proof that you don’t need to get an award to feel like a winner.

I think the secret to it is giving yourself permission to ban yourself from the internet. 😉 Sephy has been doing the same thing and it’s working a treat for him. I also will tend to shut everything down and focus in on something I am working on several times during the day.
That little email envelope is what gets me. It pops up and it tries to suck me in to losing my focus, I have learnt to turn the email program off these days. There’s nothing worse than feeling like you are a slave to it.
Cheers,
