who employs me

I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.

Bloggies honour the best in blogging

Well, not quite -- my blog didn't get an award (pout, pout).

An excerpt from the BBC story:

'Best blogs on the web' honoured

Boing Boing won the coveted overall best blog prize
The best of the web's blogs - online diaries or websites where people publish their thoughts - have been recognised in the annual Bloggies.

Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things took the top overall blog prize.

The prize for the best British blog and the lifetime achievement award went to plasticBag.org, a site dedicated to musings about people and new media.

The winners from 30 categories were announced at the SXSW Interactive Festival in Texas, US.

Boing Boing is written by Cory Doctorow, Xeni Jardin, Mark Frauenfelder, and David Pescovitz, and started life five years ago as a paper-based magazine.

"We honestly didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful," Boing Boing's Xeni Jardin said on the site.

"There were many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in their honour."
