Welcome back. As it is Monday, we have the new Image of the Week - it is just one of a series, so make sure to click through to the original blog post where that one came from.
I don't know much about all those media awards (I am much more aware of the good old Kaufax Awards, ResearchBlogging Awards, 3 Quarks Daily Awards and such), but it seems this one is big as everyone is so excited about it. Scientific American is a finalist in four categories:

I am not sure who does the judging and how (does not seem to be a community/online effort) and it is unfortunate there are no links to any of the finalists so you have to google them. I may even be in NYC on the day of the awards and can try to sneak in... And does this means I need to post more often on 'A Blog Around the Clock' now, along with all these other blogs I write or edit? But hey, it's nice to be in the run against Weigel ;-)
