community, weblog award, sweetness, my opera
My Opera is one of the finalists in the "Weblog awards" for "Best Online Community". I had never heard of it before, but apparently they are pretty big (500,000 votes cast in 2007 (source)). I had my doubts promoting it too much because other finalists in the award ceremony include communities such as "Jennifer Marohasy" (huh?), "Michael Jackson Fan Forum" (hm...), and so on.
Anyway, at the moment I'm pretty excited because My Opera might win! We've never been nominated to anything before, so it feels good to be acknowledged at least. 
This is my plea to you: Vote My Opera!

community, coffee, coffee man, good stuff
I got a PM from Dustin about something called "Too Much Coffee". I clicked on the link and BAM! There I was... Displayed as some neurotic coffeholic with bulbing eyes! 
Is this how you see me? Really? Hahhaha, awesome. I love you Dustin.
When I came to work today I had also received an awesome postcard with vacation greetings from my My Opera friends slackwrdave and reedplayernc. I think they've sent out a lot of post cards to people in the community, and that's really cool. This is the first time I've received anything, compared to always sending stuff out, this was a delightful surprise. It's soooo nice. 
Hey, if anyone else wanna send me postcards feel free to do so! Shipping address:
- Espen André Øverdahl
- c/o Opera Software ASA
- PO Box 2648
- St. Hanshaugen
- NO-0131 Oslo
- Norway
This is also to show-off to my work colleagues that I have friends.
Overall, this has been an awesome day. I love this community and this job. I'm too lucky for this.
