Instructables Project Contest Winner
I just learned that my DIY Bookbinding tutorial–originally published in Make magazine, then gaining a little more attention in expanded form as a wiki (which nobody actually contributed to before I decided to consolidate it here with my blog), and finally made available as an Instructable–was just selected as one of the winners of the Instructables September Project Contest.
Considering I wasn’t even aware of such a contest when I posted the project to the site, this came as surprisingly splendid news indeed, and I’m honored to have my project selected as one of the five First Prize winners. Thanks to the folks at Instructables for creating such a great community for people to share their how-to ingenuity with others. Now that I know people are watching there, I’ll have to get on the stick and post some more projects there.

Thanks, Brian. Since the prize is a Windows-only toy I probably wouldn’t be too interested in anyway, the coolest part of winning (aside from the flattery) is inclusion in the super-secret beta version of the Instructables site. Wheee!

[…] That’s all. I just felt the need to report on the most self-indulgent fun I’ve had at that site since another one of my other instructables won one of their many contests. […]
