To get the most out of this post, please do the following:
1. Play this song:

2. Picture me staring out over the ocean with a look of knowing satisfaction. And then, rather than toss the dogtags of my recently deceased RIO (GOOOOOSE…!) into the water, I throw my MacBook. Inexplicably, I am still wearing a flight suit.
Yes, Nunc Scio has won Best Non-Partisan Blog in the Canadian Blog Awards. This makes me very happy, very grateful, and a little hungry. My fellow nominees are an incredible group, and I was honoured to be included among them. If you get a chance, check them out: Bow. James Bow., Slap Upside the Head (great blog and a super nice guy), Waking Up on Planet X, and More Notes from Underground. So much bloggy goodness. If you were a blog diabetic, you’d be dead by now.
Crucial thanks: Scott over at Scott’s DiaTribes for the nomination; my designer and King of All Internets Robin Senior; my hilarious stable of commentators Sassafrass, Forbes, Matej, Joshua and Senior; my parents for reading this rag every day; and everyone who reads, has ever read, or voted for Nunc Scio. You guys is da best.
I suppose I should also thank Tom Cruise, because he can read my mind. And if I’m ever in a car accident, he’s the only one who can help.
I spent $40 voting for you in various internet cafe’s around Toronto with different ip’s, so it’s a good thing you won.
This is awesome, congrats.
First we vote you non-partisan blog of the year… then we vote you for American President.
Congrats duder, well deserved.
No problem, Graeme.. though I have to admit that I saw more of your posts in my position as the administrator at Prog Blog (since I get to read and see a lot of the posts from the aggregates over there then seeing individual blogposts) so you won’t mind if I do a little plug of that place (which you are a member of, of course) while accepting your thanks.
Seriously, how much does a person have to comment to get a mention in the Oscar speech?
So awesome Graeme and so well deserved. I am going to listen to that track all day and try really hard not to make wingman jokes.
nice one dude, good work all round i feel
so the cheque’s in the post yeah?…
Congrats!
You should put the ‘winner’ logo on your sidebar!
Forbes: Absolutely he should! He gets to put that up for the whole calendar year if he wishes to
Congratulations on the award. I accidently discovered you site on Wednesday evening while searching for “environment bores”. I know there’s a joke in there somewhere. I read your blog and then forgot about finshing my search in favour of reading you. I put a shortcut on the desktop so I can stay tuned in. I normally read 3 or 4 official news sites and now I have added you to my daily routine!
Keep the intelligent and informative ideas coming!

Congrats! Awesome blog you’ve got and I love the Tom Cruise joke (the joke, not the guy).
And where did you find the freezeframe guys? Hilarious
Congrats on the win, Graeme. You deserve it.
And I am now a regular reader.
