Lulu Blooker Prize
If the blogosphere is the world’s largest vanity press, then it stands to reason that… that… hell. There’s nothing reasonable about it. Suffice it to say that the Lulu Blooker Prize will be awarded on April 3rd. Sponsored by Lulu, the event is timed to coincide with the 450th anniversary of Frau Gutenberg’s original run of cookbooks, printed off hours when Johannes wasn’t busy with the bibles. Cory Doctorow is one of the three judges (along with Robin Miller and Paul Jones).
Tom Evslin’s "hackoff.com" is one of the fiction finalists. "Belle De Jour" is on the non-fiction shortlist. Go Tom! Go Belle!
Thanks to Lulu’s mom for turning me on to this event.
