Blogathon 2006

I’ve decided to take part in the 2006 Blogathon event.
This means I’ll be blogging for a charity, I chose Association for International Cancer Research, mainly because a friend passed away from cancer, not long ago. He was 17 (I believe).

I’ll be writing one post every thirty minutes for twenty four hours, totalling a massive 48 blog posts in 24 hours.

I’m sure my blog’ll be the most boring, and there’s a good chance I’ll fall asleep. I’m just gonna do the whole thing standing, so if I fall asleep I’m gonna wake up when I hit the ground ;).

Right, July 29 at 9:00am, EST time (can anyone tell me what that is in UTC?). Be there–and watch me.

And please, please:

Consider making a contribution!

    Contributions are pouring in! I’m already at $50–all for cancer research :D!

    Please, if you can spare even a dime, donate it.

    I have absoluately no idea yet, if I’m going to be honest.
    I’m gonna select a few topics to discuss before the event, and write essays, book (and other) reports, and just rants.

    Yeah, I think that’s how I’m going to proceed.
