This is interesting in many ways. Just like storysouth invents and successfully markets their own award, Laughlin creates an award and is apparently willing to do the work which accompanies choosing the winners. Best of luck, Robert Laughlin! Every award or notable prize began somewhere, there was once a beginning of an idea which resulted in Pulitzers, Pushcarts or for… hell … just about any prize where them what creates awards others what also do.
I trust Mr. Laughlin will find an HTML buddy who will spruce up his website soon.
