I'm constantly finding new things out here in the blogoverse. Most of y'all probably see them and think "well, duh" but it's new and exciting for me so I'm more than willing to subject you to my fancy.

The one I found today is part of the Ecosystem at The Truth Laid Bear. Specifically it's the New Blog Showcase. NZ has set up a nifty little contest for new bloggers that helps introduce them to the blogosphere and the blogosphere to them. New bloggers submit a post and other Ecosystem bloggers can vote for the best simply by linking to it. Very cool idea.

Granted, the Ecosystem is in trouble right now but that's no reason to hold off on visiting these young blogs and voting (via linking on your own blog) for when NZ gets the Ecosphere up and working again.

My The own sumbission is Kids Trade Bad Habits Like Pokemon Cards. You should definitely vote for this one. It is without a doubt the best post that was submitted. Go ahead and look at the others though, just in case you have some odd kink or esoteric fetish that would make you prefer one of the others. Who knows? You may find a new blog to follow.

As a contestant part of my eligibility requirement is to vote for 3 other blogs. Though it goes against my very nature to support my competition i wouldn't want to forfeit my chance at the fabulous prizes I am bound to receive when I inevitably win so here they are:

Kid's Stuff at Futurballa. Neat little family post. Think Lileks with a late teens Gnat. Didn't have time to get into the meat of the blog but I'll definitely be back for a second look.

Kuching Fest Part VI at Mum-mum. Wena and Granny sample the goods. I got a bit lost in here but the pictures of food are so mouthwatering that it had to get my vote.

Davis Should Resign at Naw. Excellent insight into the situation and why Davis should resign instead of face a recall (this post was from back when Davis could have resigned and there would have been no recall). The blog overall seems mostly political and Adam is sitting left of center but he avoids the tantrumy tone of many political commentators so I'll probably be back there semi-regularly.
