\n<\/div>\n

I’ve bitten the bullet and signed up for Blogathon 2006<\/a>. Which means from 6 a.m. MDT Saturday, 29 July<\/strong>, to 6 a.m. 30 July, I’ll be posting something every half-hour, on the half-hour (or so) for 24 hours. <\/p>\n

As in past years<\/a>, 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. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Unlike past years, I won’t be blogging for the CBLDF<\/a> (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)<\/a>. You can read more about the EFF here<\/a>, 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
\nbeginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And you can support me in this endeavor by clicking here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span>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.<\/p>\n

I think this is a worthy cause, and, if like other years, you agree, I hope you’ll sponsor me. <\/p>\n

(In addition, let me plug Les<\/a>, who’s blogging for American United for the Separation of Church and State<\/a>, another very worthy cause.)<\/small>  <\/p>\n

This should be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
