Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

Update: Variety didn’t win: LJWorld.com did. But losing to them is a great honor—like making it to the end of a video game but succumbing to the big boss. We were also competitors in the categories of “Best Internet Business Service (less than 1 million unique visitors)” and “Best Internet Entertainment Service (less than 1 million unique visitors)” but not “finalists” perhaps because there were not enough competitors.  We also didn’t quite win in those, but I must assume we came in second 😊

On Friday, Variety.com was named one of four finalists for best overall newspaper site with less than 1,000,000 monthly visitors in the 2003 EPpy Awards competition.

Variety is, as far as I can tell, the only entirely paid-subscription site to be nominated in any category.

Says the release: “The EPpy Awards, which are now in their eighth year, identify and honor the best work in the Internet field by media outlets, including newspapers, radio, and broadcast/cable TV. EPpy winners will be announced at the Interactive Media Conference and Trade Show, May 7-9, 2003 at the Paradise Point Resort in San Diego.

“The 2003 EPpy Awards competition, which attracted more than 400 entries this year, is sponsored by Editor & Publisher (E&P) and MediaWeek magazines.”

CATEGORY:
Best Overall Newspaper-affiliated Internet service with monthly unique visitors

< 1 million

www.Variety.com - Variety
www.NewsOK.com - News 9 and The Oklahoman
www.capecodonline.com - Cape Cod Online
www.gomemphis.com - The Commercial Appeal

This is pretty exciting for me, and is the third significant award Variety has won in the past year.

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”
