Don’t let a German Dessert Beat Cranky Flier

Okay loyal readers. I have a task for you to do today.

Today is the last day you can vote in this year’s “Weblog Awards.”

Brett Snyder’s blog Cranky Flier, has been nominated for best travel blog. As of this posting, he trails “My Kugelhopf” by a little more than 100 votes.

As you all know, Brett is a friend of the PlaneBusiness empire, and well, even though the whole concept behind the Weblog awards is nothing more than a glorifed beauty contest — there’s no question that if you win, it can give your site some nice added attention. And in the case of Brett, who does not have a subscriber publication to pay the rent — but just the blog — added attention is about the best thing you can ask for.

Go vote.

I would say vote now, vote often. But each IP is limited to one vote a day. And today is the last day.

So one vote will suffice.

But if you want to run around your office and vote from every computer, that would be fine too.

Yes, that’s me and that’s Brett at last fall’s Southwest Airlines’ Halloween festivities. Brett dressed as a Canadian Mountie, in honor of Southwest’s link-up with Canadian wunderkind WestJet. He also awarded free Molsons from his backpack to deserving Halloween skit participants. A truly selfless act.
