Here are the Ten #Noonies2022 Awards I have my eyes on!

Contributor of the Year - DAOs

I’ve been reading a lot about DAOs latey, and while most still fail in terms of engagement and practice, the underlying idea, decentralizing an organizations’ decision making, is so fun! I voted for the Futuristic Lawyer.

The Metaverse of Madness

I nominated Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg here because I thought this BusinessInsider headline justified consideration for this esteemed award: Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse obsession is driving some current and former Facebook employees nuts: 'It's the only thing Mark wants to talk about'

The Skynet Award

Love me some Terminator. I voted for 23andMe here as questionable practices around reselling DNA are very on brand for SkyNet.

Contributor of the Year - CSS

As I’ve been collaborating with developers more, I’ve been trying to learn how to pass off better work, so these CSS stories have been very educational for me. I voted for Taimoor Sattar.

Contributor of the Year - Business Strategy

I enjoy reading about business strategy as it helps me do business but is usually rooted in deeper life implications. I voted for Qin Ein (I enjoyed doing his podcast parents.fm too).

Best Tech Management Newsletter

As a CEO in tech, I ended up subscribing to the all the first 8 nominees, and ended up voting for Barking Up the Wrong Tree.

The New Gizmo with the Most Gadget-y-ness

I voted for TidByt as I’m a sucker for in office pixelation.

Indie Game of the Year

I don’t really game anymore… so I didn’t know who to vote for! But I think the video game industry is better off with more independent makers, so I’ll be checking back later to see all the nominations.

AND FOR FUN: Who is the Real Captain Kirk? & Who is the Real Spock?

These ones feature all of the actors who have ever played the respective character on the big screen. Why not? It’s the Noonies! Vote today.
