Blogathon
Blogathon '09
Posted By Jeff On July 4, 2009 @ 7:26 pm
Hello my Lovies. It’s that time again. The time where I stay up late, spam you with message posts and you donate money to a charity in a feeble attempt to make me stop.
Blogathon is an annual charity event where bloggers stay up for 24 hours straight, make blog posts every 30 minutes, and raise money for a charity of their choice. This year, I’ve chosen again to support the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation.
The Tim Horton Children’s Foundation sends children from economically disadvantaged homes to summer camp for a week. This is something that these children would normally not have the chance to do. Aside from giving the kids a fun week away from their parents, it helps them develop confidence so they can take pride in their accomplishments and give them the idea that they can succeed; no matter where they’ve come from. This summer alone they will send over 14,000 kids to camps across the country.
Blogathon will be taking place this year on July 25th at 9:00am EST until July 26th at 9:00am EST. I would love for your support, both emotional or financial through donations. You can PLEDGE HERE if you wish to show your support and I look forward to spamming you later this month.
Referral Risk x2

Readers, I need your help to rule the world!
I’ve spent the past…god knows how long setting some SEO stuff up and retagging some things. Along the way I came across and older post from years ago called Troops, Fall In with a link to referral risk on it. This was cool, so it’s coming back.

No Blolgathon?!

It’s true and it’s completely blown my mind. True, I haven’t been blogging quite as much as I hoped due to work, but Blogathon is still always going to be a day worth booking off to do. Unfortunately the Admins of Blogathon decided that they weren’t going to be able to do it this year. Horrible, right?
However, Jen has stepped up to provide an alternative titled Day of Blogs. She hasn’t put together too much info yet, but I’ve contacted her and thrown my hat in the ring to help out any way possible. A year without Blogathon is a summer without air conditioning: Possible but it just ain’t gonna happen.
So I’ll start blogging again here with details of it, and we’ll see where that idea goes. And yes, the other posts are still coming stay tuned.
Mommy, it's over ‘06

Well yet another Blogathon has come to an end. As of this post, 285 blogs made it through the ‘thon to raise a combined total of $97,264.68 . That’s a ton of cash for a good cause. Personally, I’ve raised $42 for the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation; That’s $12 above my goal. So thank you to all of my sponsors, would have been able to do it without your support. So thank you.
I had a blast doing this ‘thon. Project Blog ’04 was fun, Blogathon ’05 was better, this was by far the best. I can’t wait until next year. If only it was semi-annual and 48 hours. Blogathon…To the extreme!
Well that’s it for me, I’m going to attempt to sleep. And Congratulations to all the bloggers who survived the ‘thon, you sponsors and charities will be proud.
Post Round-up: Part 2
Posted By Jeff On July 30, 2006 @ 8:30 am
The second half of the round-up consists mostly of time after people left, so I was sitting here on my own nothing to do. This could be why the quality of the videos went from thought-out to my typical ‘WTF’ style. I like my WTF style, they’re fun to make.

I'm not ready to go

I don’t want Blogathon ’06 to end, that means I have to sleep. Why would I want to sleep, I’m having fun. I’ve made a ton of completely dumb videos I know I wouldn’t have thought of were I running under normal circumstances. Hell, I’m even typing better then I usually do, and that’s saying a lot because my typing is usually horrid. Seems I should run on no sleep more often, actually make progress (thought I still won’t touch my dishes).
I think what I find most intresting about blogathon is the other people. I mean it’s not like you’re signing up and they tell you how long it is at the last minute, you sign up to stay away for 24 hours. You would think a logical person would do some training for such an event if they’re not used to it; One weekend stuff up for 15 hours or something, just to see how you react. Basically just work your way up, see if you might be able to handle no sleep for 24 hours. Some people can, some people can’t. But they just need to be prepared. Oh well, guess they’d feel like crud dropping out right due to fatigue? I know I would.
Oh well, I’ll never give up, never surrender.
Bangerang!

Do you know where your birds are? I have birds outside my window right now. They usually annoy the hell out of me, because I’m just about ready to sleep at this time (yay night shifts!) but to day it’s pretty cool.
I’m just chatting in the Blogathon roo mon AIM and compiling my ‘highlights’ so to speak that I posted this Blogathon. I did some pretty stupid stuff. But it was fun. Really fun.

Can’t quit yet bloggers. Watch this video for some helpful hints on staying awake.
No bloggers were harmed in the making of this video.
Now if only I had sonny and cher music to play on the credits of this clip. I was looking for it but couldn’t find it on my ipod. There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb.

So it turns out I can’t country line dance either and my toe is now killing me, but that was too much fun trying. There has to be a type of dance out thre I can do, and I’ll do every type of dance and make a fool of myself until I find it!
