Brian in Jeollanam-do takes two 2008 Golden Klog Awards.



Thanks to all the organizers of and participants in Hub of Sparkle's 2008 Golden Klog Awards. Congratulations to Korea Beat for being voted the Best Korea Blog of 2008. Brian in Jeollanam-do was voted

* Most Thought Provoking Korea Blog
* Angriest Korea Blogger

I got back to Suncheon tonight from three-plus weeks overseas, and I'll have more on that in a couple days, and more comments on these award proceedings later, too. But for now, thanks again to my readers and to everyone who voted for me or for anyone else. And thanks to all the teachers, professors, students, parents, writers, and everyone else out there who made 2008 a very good year for Korea blogs. I hope 2009 will be just as fruitful and productive for me, both on this site and in the classroom. Just a little less angry, maybe.

The angriest and most thought provoking....I suppose the two can parallel or perhaps are meshed. Yours is an excellent source of information, analysis and opinion.

Welcome back.

Man I've missed you!

From the get-go I didn't like the category "Angriest Blogger." No one would want to win that.

I enjoy your blog. You are critical when need be -- which is often enough in the Land of Image over Reality.

To label you as "angry" is a misnomer. I urge Roboseyo to ditch this category next year, or rename it something catchy.

This is such bullshit. I am 2X as angry as any blogger in Korea. There is more hate for Koreans on my blog than anywhere. Koreans have no souls.

Roboseyo said...

Whitey: I probably will scrap "Angriest Blogger" next year. I put it on as a bit of a joke this time, and it's certainly true that there are much more hateful haters than Brian.

Then again, "Funniest Rants" would give people something to shoot for, and lead to some very entertaining blogging this year.

I'm still fine-tuning this award thing, but I think it's been a real success for the inaugural year.

Nightmare Believer: if you don't let us see your site when we click on your name, how will we ever know it that's true?

"Funniest rants." I like it.

Congratulations Brian on the awards.

Nightmare Believer:
Perhaps if you blog was open to anyone to see you might get more publicity. Since I can't see any contact details perhaps you can add us permission to see your blog?

Nightmare Believer, you're a little bitch. Fuck off.
