Belated Congratulations to 'The Gardener'
I've said as much in private correspondence with all concerned, but because of my current travelling antics I have been a bit slack in saying the following in a more public arena:
Congratulations Dave!
I am referring to the South By South West (SXSW2004) Web Awards, in particular the Developer Resource category, which this site made to the final 5 nominations. The winner, as you almost certainly know by now, was the CSS Zen Garden - which also went on to win best in show.
I just wanted to say, belatedly as it is, that it was a real honour to appear in the finalists list alongside the eventual double-winner, but also to be there alongside Keith Robinson (Asterisk), who wore a really cool over-the-top shirt to the finals (which kept me good company in my Mambo Fighting Furry Animals shirt ... but that's another story) and James Craig (Cookiecrook) who organised a great dinner meet-up for all us CSS/web standards twonks. It was a long way for me to travel to get there but I certainly didn't regret it.
So, what sites are going to be the ones that get everyone excited this coming year, and thus make it to next year's finals?
