I will again be participating in Blogathon this year. I start this Saturday, July 28, 2007 at 9:00 am EST and will be blogging at least every 30 minutes for 24 hours.

Please consider sponsoring me. Either way, definitely read my blog entries during Blogathon and see what I'm up to. Don't be afraid to comment on my entries there!

Keeping with the plethora of personality tests on this site, I have taken the "Will you survive the Blogathon?" test again this year. There's a 50 % chance that I'll survive the 'thon.

This year, I am supporting a charity called One Economy Corporation. One Economy is a charity that helps close the technology gap for lower-income people. They help low-income people and families get internet access and use the internet to help them get assistance, find jobs, and help eliminate low-income isolation. To find out more about One Economy Corporation, head over to The Smarmy Carny's Blogathon page. Also be sure to read the blog during the Blogathon and find out much more detailed information on One Economy's efforts!

Here's a shoddy commercial I threw together for the event:

Enjoy!

Blogathon 2006 at The Smarmy Carny

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

I have decided to participate in Blogathon 2006 this year. Take note that I will be participating through The Smarmy Carny and not here at Random Fodder.

Blogathon 2006 is a blogger-based campaign to raise money for various charities. Participating bloggers will blog for 24 hours straight, from July 29 09:00 EST until July 30 09:00 EST. The charity I have chosen is the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America®.

For more information, take a look at my Blogathon page. If you're interested in sponsoring me in Blogathon 2006 by pledging to donate to Make-A-Wish®, you don't need to wait until July 29! Just head over to my Blogathon sponsorship page. The page will guide you through the sponsorship process and answer basic questions.

From 9:00 am until 11:00 pm EST, I will be hosting the Champion of Breakfasts tournament, where anyone will be able to vote on their favourite cereals as they go head-to-head with competing cereals. Additional information on the Champion of Breakfasts tournament is available over at The Smarmy Carny.

So head over to The Smarmy Carny on Saturday, July 29 and join in the activities. Leave a comment, sponsor me, or just read my posts during the 24 hours of Blogathon! I look forward to seeing you there!

Polar Bear Swim Scheduled

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006
I missed any New Year’s Day swims, but about an hour from me, there’s a polar bear swim scheduled for Sunday, and I’m planning on making it. The best thing is that this one’s for charity, so I’ll be donating some money to a food shelter, too!
See more progress on: polar bear swim
