It’s still two weeks away, but it’s already kind of exciting — especially since it seems so many sites are involved.
    A lot of folks are wondering what kind of \u201ctheme\u201d to maintain during the 24-hours of blogging. Several people are taking reader requests, someone else will be reviewing a day’s worth of movies, others will be writing short stories or poems. I was thinking of perhaps giving my new computer its maiden run that day, but I doubt I can wait till then. Or maybe uploading webcam shots of myself eating a Banquet Salisbury steak frozen dinner every half hour. (But, really, that’s no big deal since I do that every Saturday.)
    No matter what I come up with and how delirious I might end up, I hope you can find time to visit the site on the 26th<\/sup>.
    And I hope you can find time to check out the work my chosen charity is doing. The Electronic Frontier Foundation<\/a> has its virtual hands full defending file sharing<\/a>, e-mail privacy<\/a>, digital video recording<\/a>, and even printer cartridge refills<\/a>. So whether you do it by sponsoring me (which, what do you know!, you can do with this link<\/a>) or on your own, I hope you can help them out with a donation or your support.
