Okay, so I am pitted up against the #1 seed, but hopefully I will have a Rocky Balboa moment (RockyII). :) – http://rexduffdixon.com/?p=1177
Rex
I vote underdog for all categories. Esp #1 seeds of Rex, Stephanie, Richard, and Mitch. Afterall, the underdog is America’s soft spot.
Not sure how to vote on this. But I would pick Rex Dixon for his dedication and consistency when it comes to relevant topics. He does research and spend time his topics well before he writes. Impressive.
Richard MacManus also is notable for his eye on events that matter.
Werd up – greetings from Poland, Mark! Keep up the good blogging in 2007! :)
Thanks a lot, Allen — me against Tara. Hardly fair :-) If voting played a role, I could mobilize my legions of fans (does five count as a legion?) but as it is I will just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best.
Looks like someone started a digg for this: http://digg.com/tech_news/BloggerMania_I_First_Round_Matches_Announced
I always look forward to reading Rex’s thoughtful posts
