After consulting with the other Tropophilia contributors, I’ve decided that the Tropophy needs a little revision.
The Tropophy is not destined to become another watered-down web award. Nay friends, verily I say unto you: the Tropophy is destined for greatness. And so, in order to give the Tropophy a little more dignity and to avoid late night scrambles every Thursday (ahem) for a winner, I’m going to be doling out the Tropophy on a less frequent basis. Maybe once every two weeks, maybe once a month… who knows? When an individual or group merits the Tropophy, so it shall be bestowed upon them. If you think we’ve missed a good recipient and you want to nominate them, get in touch.
Fear not, however, for I bring glad tidings to appease your disappointment.
- We will soon be featuring a couple of guest posts from some of Tropophilia’s most loyal readers. Check back next week for some new voices on some interesting issues.
- We will soon be debuting another regular “feature” on Tropophilia that will inspire you to reflect on change in your own experiences, and then will invite you to respond. I’m really pumped about it, and Joel should be rolling it out within a few days.
- Give me about 5 minutes, and I’ll have a new satellite challenge up.
Happy Friday, folks.
