I'm looking forward to the article featuring Jon's presentation of Steve Gough's award.

Hope the prizes aren't pin-on medals.

Damn, another prize I din't win :( It would have been nice to have won a zipka after I came up with the idea of the awards in the first place..........but I guess it proves the draw is pure luck and everyone stands an equal chance of not winning.
