The finalists are......

Well, it looks like we had a pretty good voter turnout, I have looked at all the categories and verified that each vote came from a unique IP. With some of the categories there will be no second vote, as there were only two nominations and there is a clear winner....Sorry folks, we will announce those winners on the 24th with the rest. Just like that old ketchup commercial.....Anticipation!
