I have been chosen Blogger of the Year by Oracle Magazine in their fifth annual Editors’ Choice Awards, featured in the November – December 2006 issue of the magazine.
All I can say is that I’m honored, not only because I am featured in Oracle magazine as the Blogger of the Year, but also because I am featured on the same page as the Oracle Author of the Year, Jonathan Lewis.

I have not read or heard of an official announcement from Oracle about Oracle Magazine now being available in PWF. This must have started recently, judging from the archives available in this format which goes back only to the July-August 2006 issue of the magazine.
Check it out at www.oraclemagazine-digital.com/, but be aware that the web site is not Firefox friendly. The navigation links such as Contents, Search, Archives and others work only in Internet Explorer.
