blogathon 2005!

Jul 19, 2005 20:02

yay! blogathon 2005 is coming in two weeks! i'm so excited. i think that cory may be participating in it as well this year, so now i'll have company! oh man, maybe we can make like a little duo temporary blog thing? that should be interesting. i kind of wanna have an art theme this year so that i can do something that will keep me awake .. maybe i'll do portraits of cory and i every half hour and post 'em along with whatever i write. that would be fun! i think that'll be it.

anyway, if any of you have nothing to do on saturday, august 6th at 9am, you should really look into this year's blogathon. i did it last year and the year before, and they were both just so fun. i met so many great people, too.

here's the gist of the blogathon, taken from their website:

"First some terminology: “blog” is a shortened version of “weblog” which is a frequently updated personal website. Most blogs have date stamps on the entries, and consist of links and commentary.

Now, remember when you were in school and you would bowl for charity? And for every pin you knocked down you got, say, ten cents? Or run for a dollar a mile? During the Blogathon, people update their websites every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. For this, they collect sponsorships. Pledges can be a flat donation, or a certain amount for every hour the blogger manages to stay awake."

so check it out!
