Surprise: I’m on the shortlist for the Defence IQ Blogging Awards
Now that’s really a surprise. Augen geradeaus! has made the Defence IQ Blogging Awards shortlist – if I’ve read it correctly, that’s the only non-Anglo/US blog – in other words, the only blog not originating in the English language sphere – on this shortlist.
(Correction: now I see there’s at least one blog from India and one from Eastern Europe, but it seems they are published in English completely.)
Something I would never have expected. And when I see the other well known names on this shortlist, I’m honoured.
Of course, Augen geradeaus! (the phrase has a double meaning in German: it’s the military command eyes front! as well as an expression for looking ahead) is focused on defence and security politics from a German perspective, and thus published mostly in German. However, I really should think about doing more entries in English. To help international readers understand the – sometimes difficult to grasp – relation of Germany and Germans to their armed forces and their deployments. I will do my very best.
(Who is the guy running this blog? Look here.)
Nicht so bescheiden! Verdient ist verdient. Augengeradeaus kommt bei mir mittlerweile vor Spon!
Gratulation!
@Leser

@eresbe
No $ or € attached, I’m afraid ;-)
No surprise at all actually :-)
Keep up the great work!
p.s. you have a typo in the headline :) bloggig instead of blogging.
[Danke für den Hinweis, ist korrigiert. btw, müssten mal per PM was klären. T.W.]
Thumbs up!
@ TW
„Bravo Zulu“!!
kann man sich nur anschließen! bravo
Herzlichen Glückwunsch :D Und viel Glück. Ich bin gespannt, wie’s ausgeht :)
@T.W.
das ist doch was in Sachen ‚Marktwert‘ ,-)
Wir sehen uns
Congratulations. I understand that T.W. won’t do it by himself. So i respectfully request you to pay some attention on his project „straßenmusik“. It’s worth every cent.
Now that’s not really a surprise.
Actually tried to reach out to you via Skype earlier today – I think it could be mutually beneficial if we could have chat.
Let me know when it’s convenient for you.
