Webby Awards 2005

For reasons I just can’t fathom, Hicksdesign is a nominee in this years Webby Awards in the blogs category. Its a huge ego boost, and I expect the phone to ring very soon with offers of local superkmarkets that need to be opened. Think of all the cheese I could buy now!

Who am I up against? Amongst others, the glorious photo blog The Snowsuit Effort, and the one that undoubtedly be the winner, Flickr. Its a foregone conclusion, but nice to be nominated all the same, and I won’t let the fact that I don’t deserve it get in the way of enjoying the honour!

2005 Bloggie Awards

Well jigger me sideways into a stove pipe hat. It would seem that someone has nominated me for the ‘Best British or Irish Weblog’ category in this years bloggies! I’m up against the likes of Tom Coates though, so I may have to concede and buy my own four fingered Kit-Kat. What a heart-warming piece of news for my first day back at work, thankyou to whoever voted!

web standards awards

I could hardly believe my eyes when I was told I was the latest recipient of a web standards award. I’ve been following the progress of the awards keenly, which has featured personal favourites Jason Santa Maria and Shaun Inman, but I never thought I’d ever be up there too. Thanks Andy, you’ve made my year.
