congratulations! (and vote for my hostess!)

a great big huge WOO-FREAKIN'-HOO! to Ms. Jen, the impetus and gracious hostess of this site, HadashiWorld! her mobile documentary project that she completed as part of her master's degree program at Trinity College, Dublin is a finalist in the 10th Annual SXSW Web Awards. it's a truly delightful site called Around Ireland, which is a photographic odyssey through all thirty-two counties of Ireland. over the summer, she and other members of her team travelled to all corners of the country, sending text and images in real time via Nokia mobile phones. the site geotagged each image, thus creating a sort of live portrait/map of Ireland that's dynamic and changing, since it's also open to visitors to submit their own pictures. you can browse it by county, by date, by map, or by single photo or video.

if you like what you see, please pretty please take a moment to vote for the site in the People's Choice Award. all you have to do is enter your e-mail (which is not used for any purpose other than to send you a password) and you can vote every day until the 2nd of March, so bookmark the page. yes, i'm shamelessly plugging here, but the site (and Ms. Jen's hard work) is definitely vote-worthy.

so...a big congratulations to Ms. Jen -- very well done!
