This year, I too will be blogging away for 24 hours for Blogathon, in support of the American Cancer Society. This is something of a special cause to me at the moment; while I am and have always been against cancer in general, in much the same way as I'm against illness, death, entropy and other such damnfool concepts, those of you who know me personally and thus are familiar with those parts of my personal life I prefer not to talk about much on my blog will know why.
In short, for those who don't: I am tired of losing people. This time, it's personal.
So, please join me this July 25th, starting 0800 Central Time, when I shall be blogging right here for the space of 48 posts in 24 hours. For my theme, I'm going to spend 24 hours in-world in Second Life, starting by walking through a brief introduction to the virtual world, and then going on to showcase some of the more interesting, beautiful, or useful places I know here and there on the grid. Or maybe, later on, I'll just wander randomly and blog whatever it is I come across. But in any case, 24 hours in-world.
Just to show I'm putting my money where my mouth is, as some of you may know, I sell a few devices in-world, including the PingHud (see it on Xstreet SL), an attachment which allows you to post to your social networks and blogs without needing to leave the world. All revenues in the month of July from the sale of PingHuds will also be donated to the American Cancer Society.
Anyway. It's for a good cause - I think we can all agree that lack of death is a good cause, right? - so please consider clicking this link and sponsoring this epic feat of blogging.
(P.S. Sponsors will receive link credit right here on the blog as the event starts and on through it if anyone chimes in late. If I don't know your link, drop me an e-mail at avatar@arkane-systems.net when you pledge, and I'll use that one.)
(P.P.S. Missy at The Chef's Table also has a really good cause, and from Blogathon's past, also gives really good value in blog posts and tasty recipes for your pledge. Go visit her, too!)
