As Brian said yesterday, we’ve been nominated for the 2008 Bloggies in the categories of Best Tech Blog, Lifetime Achievement and Best Design. Really do feel like we do fantastic work around here, not just in the stuff he pointed out yesterday, but stuff like our Very Very NSFW Porn Convention Adventure and our other NSFW exploits. If you feel like Gizmodo helps you get through the work day any faster or makes you day any more enjoyable, please throw in a vote for us. It’ll give us a warm feeling inside, much like the feeling you’d get if you were the kitty in the picture. [Vote for Gizmodo]
Hey there. We’ve been nominated in the 2008 bloggies for categories such as Best Tech Blog, Lifetime Achievement and Best Design. Design aside, I do feel like we’re to the point where we’re pretty happy with the work we do. Just remember the X-Wing fighter rocket soaring into the sky, the Lego 50th anniversary story, our Bill Gates video interview, the first live shots of the 150-inch plasma, or the purdiest Apple liveblog photos around. For voting, I can’t promise you the same Jet ride and Pony we did last year. Only the feeling of warm fuzziness you’d get and give from clicking on us in the 2008 Bloggies…well, I’d say it would probably feel somewhat like being tucked in that sweater with a kitty and the puppies. Thanks, and good night. [Vote for Giz, photo via Cute Overload]

The OuijaVote system includes “hundreds of thousands” of networked ouija boards which transmit the information directly to a central system. There, election officials will watch a robot spell out the name of the most popular name, picked up by citizens all around the United States and limbo. And it can even replace Congress altogether:
