The 2009 Nerdies – Update
Author: Heidi // Category: Stuff that wont fit into other categories, Twitter
An update: The nominations are finished and I have somehow made the top 10!
Please control your hysterical laughter – I am fully aware of how corny this is but wouldn’t mind winning to tell you the truth (I’m pretty darn competitive)
So…. go ahead and vote for me here: http://www.shebee.co.za
Voting closes on Friday 09 January 09 at noon.
Why should you vote for me? Well, if for no other reason, I am a HUGE geek and more than willing to make a fool out of myself in public. 
_______________________________________________________________________________
The sportsmen do it. The Hollywood types do it. Heck, even the politicians do it! There is a “Hottest list” for almost any group of people you can imagine, except Geeks… until now.
Following th example of Wired.com’s “Sexiest Geeks” list, fellow SA Blog-chick Sheena Gates has launched “The 2009 Nerdies”. You can now nominate the guy & gal you think rocked the SA blogosphere (Twitter included) in 2008…
But in SheeBee’s own words, it’s not all about looks : “The nominees should be nominated for their personalities more than anything else, this is onlinedom okes, shallowness is null and void here.”
See the nominees and vote for your own “Nerdy” on Sheena’s blog or use the #Nerdies09 hash tag for your nomination on Twitter.
P.S. Bribery and corruption is accepted as this is a very light-hearted, tongue in cheek event so buy SheeBee chocolate and nominate me!

Oi! There are two judges to bribe! I’m more than open to the option of a packet of Chuckles from Woolies

@StevenMcd Argh! Yes! I completely forgot you’re a judge… erm, actually, no I didnt – I just thought you were too important, intelligent and influential to bribe… oh crap, that came out wrong…. erm…
What flavour of Chuckles?>
