I’ve bitten the bullet and signed up for Blogathon 2006. Which means from 6 a.m. MDT Saturday, 29 July, to 6 a.m. 30 July, I’ll be posting something every half-hour, on the half-hour (or so) for 24 hours.
As in past years, I’ll be blogging about comic books — reviews, reminiscences, top lists, suggestions, etc. Feel free to forward ideas for things you’d like to read about.
Unlike past years, I won’t be blogging for the CBLDF (which remains a worthy cause, and which should be supported by lovers of comics and of the First Amendment), but for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). You can read more about the EFF here, but basically they are a non-profit set up to “confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the
beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.”
And you can support me in this endeavor by clicking here.
Essentially, you’ll be pledging to make a donation to the organization I’m blogging for (which might be embarrassing if you think they’re a bunch of goof-balls). I never actually see or handle any of the money (just as well). You’ll simply get a reminder, after the blogathon, to make the donation you pledged to; no credit card numbers are taken or anything like that. Donations can be made with varying degrees of anonymity, to me and/or to the world.
I think this is a worthy cause, and, if like other years, you agree, I hope you’ll sponsor me.
(In addition, let me plug Les, who’s blogging for American United for the Separation of Church and State, another very worthy cause.)
This should be a lot of fun.
