There's also this NPR story today but I'll be damned if I can get the page to load properly.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

I voted in both. I won't be voting in P&J again, I expect, cos the online-only setup made it impossible to vote for albums the way I wanted. This wasn't a problem with JP, as I didn't vote for any albums.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

so Xgau gets away with voting in both cuz he's no longer a NT employee?

the ironing is delicious

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

That NPR piece was a pretty good overview, I thought. Fair & balanced and all that, snarf snarf. (Thanks for the tip, Ned.) I love that my cousin intro'd that piece, likely not knowning that I'm one of the voters he'd talking about. Hee.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 January 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

As I note in the essay, a TON of ballots never arrived in their destinations because of mass-mail/spam filter issues. ("Jackin'" in the subject line didn't help.) But for a first-time poll, I'm very happy with the near-500 we got.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 9 February 2007 21:06 (eighteen years ago)

Somewhere in elementary school, we were meant to be drawing pictures of the solar system, with planets very roughly scaled and colored and in order, and my friend Brian and I decided it would be really funny to throw in Melmac just beyond Jupiter. Then, when we couldn't decide what it should look like, Brian had the genius idea of making it hairy. So we had a proper solar system with a hairy planet in the middle, which we found way more hilarious than the teacher did.

― racist illustrator for hire (dubplatestyle), Friday, 9 February 2007 21:17 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, this is triggering a weird memory: as soon as I moved to New York, Dominican got added to the list of ethnicities people sometimes think I am, and so at some point I was stopped by this guy on the street, who then figured out that I wasn't Dominican and started giving this long, detailed explanation of all the reasons he thought I was Dominican -- anyway, part of it involved him saying something along the lines of "see, I'm Dominican, you can tell, I've got this kinda yellowish skin tone, that's cause we've got low iron" (maybe it wasn't iron, but he had some sort of metabolic explanation here). Anyway I don't think Bert's yellowness is affecting the weird aptness of that decision; it doesn't really work on the color side, since Ernie's way darker.

A brilliant display of the random, scattershot splendor ILM sometimes has to offer when everyone’s so tense they turn punchdrunk

ok i missed totally the thread derailing so apropros of nothing the print version of p&j also had pretty much the worst jump i've ever seen. going from one page of a spread to the next there was first a jump from ANOTHER essay, and then the continued essay from the prior page of the spread. I'm pretty sure this was never a standard voice design element before the takeover? i've never even see the post do something quite so awful although they seem to use auto-justification without proofreading to awfully ill effect at least twice a week.

rh's essay just made me feel sad btw.

You love it.
Also, Sterling, love your little "for those of us who remember Ott's Pitchfork is STEALIN ALL UR AD CLICKTHRUS" comment.
Was I wrong about that? No, I wasn't - I'm never wrong. Idolator will not exist in 2009. Book it.

You should change your name to Dr. Peppertura.

Or Peppertua.

eleven years pass...

So why did Jackin' Pop stop after two polls? I remember when the 2007 poll came out (with a webpage design that shamed the Voice's P&J at the time), it seemed like it could potentially usurp P&J, but a third poll never came to be.

I recall Matos said once that it was an absolutely monstrous pain in the ass to do.
