According to the recently-updated SND website, the full searchable database of winners should be posted in about four hours, at 7:00 PM EST. Did you win any? Post them here.

Cool - now if I can find one of those groovy javascript countdown clocks I'll hack it into the home page to build some drama.

PLUS: SND Web Editor Rich Boudet todays also posts this Q&A with SND Legend Phil Ritzenberg. (The honoroable Mr. Ritzenberg was a Syracuse judge)

Quote:

"I think American papers are stuck in one model. It's constrained. They just do a reinterpretation of the way newspapers used to be. Of course there is elevated typography, but basically the papers are built on the same model.

Too few American editors and designers â€“ and people who care â€“ are looking at the really good papers in Spain, Mexico, and Germany, for instance, for inspiration."

Or South America, South Asia, Pacifica, or the U.K., or Korea, or India, or . . . Preach on Brother Phil.

What is we all saying here? In a word -Weltanschaung
Â» WeltÂ·anÂ·schauÂ·ung (v lt'Ã¤n'shou' ng)
n., pl. -ungs or -ungÂ·en (-ng-n).
See worldview.

Post up you winners, you. Wink

B-I-N-G-O - You are absolutley correct, sir. There is great inspiration to be tapped into from elsewhere.

OK, I have wired up a Doomsday countdown clock on the home page . . . tick, tock.

I hope the clock is correct, but a call just now from the SND office says that they are having uploading trouble. SND does not want to upload the database only to have a bazillion timeouts or errors, so be patient if it does not happen today. The SND office is troubleshooting now.

I just changed the snd.org page to Monday, just to be safe. Sorry, gang ...

And please don't kill the messenger (ducking now).

What a horrible tease! Razz

But the results are coming to us earlier, I think, than they have in the past few years. For that, I am happy.

Duck, Matt, here comes a shot from atop the Space Needle. Twisted Evil

Seriously, though, thanks for keeping us posted over here at VizEds.

I can't wait to see if I get to put on a Very Happy

face or a

face when the SNDs are announced.

This will be far earlier than ever, whether it is today or Monday.

But I am really sorry to have gotten up hopes. I should have made sure the database was running right before making any promises!
