Have I ever told you guys how much we love you? Well, we love you. A lot. And we know that somewhere, deep inside, there's a part of you that loves us too.

That's why we're going to ask you guys a small favour. We want you to vote for nominate us in this year's Weblog awards. We want you guys to go out there and tell the world that you reckon we're the best blog in the world (or at least Australia/NZ).

It'll only take a few minutes of your time, and if we win, I'll buy you all a beer*. Simply click on these links and nominate Gizmodo Australia.
*Best Australia/NZ blog
*Best Technology blog

We'll also be asking you to vote in a couple of weeks, but we really want to ensure we get some nominations, so head over and help us out. We'd do it for you, if you were a blog**.

Update! After our shocking reveal of exactly what happens on CNN pundits' laptops while Anderson Cooper is blabbing about Sarah Palin (thanks again, Mark), the folks at the world's Most Trusted Name in News have responded. Unable to let such a scandal sit unanswered, on Friday night's 360 Cooper dialed up legal analyst and guilty baseball fan Jeffrey Toobin himself for an explanation. Busted!

Six thousand, six hundred and sixty-two posts after I first started writing here at Gizmodo, I'm about to type the words that I never thought would ever dribble forth from my keyboard: I'm the new editor of Gizmodo. After working with Joel Johnson, John Biggs and Brian Lam all these years and absorbing all the lessons and insights about blogging they left in this sweat, tear and who-knows-what-else-stained Editor's hat, it's time for me to pick it up and shove my head in.

Over two years at Gizmodo as editor, we've racked up a great deal of fast, smart work I'm proud of being a part of. But we're going to be making some changes shortly.

Between the tech culture and vibrant sense of life, Brazil is one country that should have a native version of Gizmodo. And now they're live, with a combination of Gizmodo US posts translated into Portuguese and their own local news. I took this shot with a camera phone on the beach several months back. But Rio is so beautiful a city, I wish I'd brought the capable Nikon D300 DSLR along for the ride. Not sure where I'd tuck that 18-200mm in my speedo, though.

The guys at Tasty Booze may think whoever owns this guy is a gigantic douche, but we know better. This guy is a gigantic Gizmodo fan. You can't fit "Gigantic Gizmodo Fan" on a licence plate, so he shortened it to "BIG GIZ". Here's to you, Giz fan—you Pontiac driver you. [TastyBooze - Thanks Blakeley!]

You've probably already noticed, but Gizmodo AU has a great new design which launched today. We're still working out a few unexpected bugs, so bear with us if it's not 100 percent perfect and rest easy in the knowledge that it soon will be.

Feel free to let us know what you think of the new design in the comments. And if you like it, please join me in an impromptu, completely random standing ovation for our IT guy Kaan - he's been working on this redesign for months at the same time as keeping all our sites growing strong. I swear, the guy must see the world in code. Good work Kaan!

We don't usually give Reader of the Month awards, only stars to top commenters who actually post useful or funny stuff. But this reader doesn't comment in Gizmodo, even while he confessed he's addicted to it. He doesn't send us stories or suggestions to tips@gizmodo.com either. Or corrections. Nothing. In fact, I met him today for the first time, after my dog Jones bit me on the mouth this morning, cutting a very deep and nasty 1-inch-long injury in the shape of a seven—just below my inferior lip. His name is Dr. Francisco Gómez Bravo, and he's one of the top plastic surgeons here, in the Old Continent.
