It's time for this year's Black Weblog Awards! Vote carefully, thoughtfully and without any attachment to an outcome, and you might learn something and find a few new folks to add to your own list of regularly read sites. (See any good ones? Pass them along, please.) The best part of blogging is not about glory or gain, but knowing your own mind more truthfully over time, not to mention deepening worthwhile connections and forging new and fruitful ones.
Meanwhile, back in my browser?
