The only surprise win in the “Georgies” (as they have come to be called) would be the victory of Debbie Schlussel in the “Favourite Gal Infidel Blogger” category. Pretty much everything other category victor could have been predicted well in advance.
Congratulations to all the winners (except for the winners in categories 7 and 8…those were the bad categories to be in)!
I started blogging back in 2004 -- in May, if the Wayback Machine is to be believed. Not that I remember the exact day. To be honest, I didn't take it that seriously then; it was a fun distraction, but nothing more.
That all changed, I think, once the Danish cartoons were published, and the assault on the right to freedom of expression became very visible. With the recent issues in Canada concerning the "human rights" commissions, the gravity of the matter has only increased, and my interest in blogging has increased right along with it.
I used to blog at a domain called Time Immortal, but it seemed to be the right time for a change -- there's been a lot of that in my life of late. Hence this blog: a fresh start, and proof positive that I won't shut up even if I get shut down once in a while.
