- My mother informed me this evening that Brian Lara was a question on last night’s edition of Jeopardy!. Thankfully my friend J9 over at Francomenz has saved me the trouble of blogging about it.
- Our Caribbean colleague Guyana-Gyal has been nominated for a Bloggie Award in the “Best Latin American Weblog” category, so please cast your vote. For a little background on Guyana-Gyal, check out the interview I did with her a few weeks ago at Global Voices.
Unfortunately she’s competing against Cooking Diva, the blog of Melissa De Leòn Douglass, the woman behind those mouth-watering food blog roundups over at Global Voices. But sorry to have to say it, Melissa — best of luck, but this time CARICOM gets my vote!
- And had a funny e-mail the other day from Dev Anand Teelucksingh of the Trinidad & Tobago Computer Society. “Is it just a coincidence,” Dev wrote, “that that all of the photos and mention of persons involved with Global Voices on CFR are all using Macs? 
?”
There I was hoping this was simply a prelude to Dev’s announcing that he’d decided to heed my appeal for a gift of a MacBook Pro, but alas, he was writing to tell me that the TTCS’s OSSWIN CD is now available for download.
On a related note, the TTCS has also just released their eighth podcast.
But according to Francomenz you were on Jeopardy. Well excuuuse me! That’s awesome.
As the official jefe of the Caribbean blogosphere and rapporteur extraordinaire for Global Voices, couldn’t you alert us all when these nominations come up? (By “us” I mean those of us so dozy and out of touch that we don’t otherwise hear about them.) There are some nominations I’d have liked to make. Subject to suitable inducements, I could even have nominated CFR.

Had I really been the “official jefe” of the Caribbean blogosphere I guess I’d have been aware that the Bloggies were on the horizon!
But when you say “suitable inducements” . . .
