Deadline Day

You can put it off no longer: today is the last day to vote on the 2013 Hugo Awards. You have until 23:59 (11:59 PM) Central Daylight Time tonight. I know I go on like a broken record about this, but after people I know missed nominating because they blithely assumed that the deadline was in Pacific Time despite everything on the ballot saying otherwise, I want people to be sure they know that if they wait until after 10 PM on the US West Coast, they're going to miss the deadline.

If you haven't voted, avoid the Deadline Doom and vote earlier in the day. That way you'll not be caught out if you have a local computer or internet failure at the last minute.

Ditto on pretty much everything you said. I especially appreciated that there was no need to complete the voting, as I was traveling abroad on the day of the deadline and wasn't sure whether I'd have net connectivity. And on the other hand, as it turned out I did, and so was able to fill in one more category based on the stuff I read on the road. Excellent.
