Russell withdraws from the competition as an organiser, but in the event of a tie, he’ll cast the deciding vote, so be nice to him Cast your votes now before you forget.

You can vote for me of course, Carnival of the Mobilists #33, I previously got selected for best host of the month in the awards sponsored by Khosla Ventures for June. You can still vote for my post of the week from August in the 41th edition of the Carnival of the Mobilists of Justin Oberman at his MOpocket site. That post relates actually to the “Connecting cultures through Music” article I wrote for Vodafone Receiver.
