Been a little tardy on posting a thank you to all of the wonderful people that came out to help put on a truly inspiring New Media Day for WIFF09. Was a little exhausted afterwards though.

The advantage to my taking a two month hiatus, is that today is the last day to nominate cool creatives in our community for a PopVox Award and all of the people listed below are deserving of a nomination. Go nominate away. You can nominate as many people as you like. Don’t forget the category for individuals.
All the Lovely People
