Time is running out! October is careening its way toward Halloween, at which point the month devoted to the Donors Choose Blogger Challenge will be over. As of this typing, we've received $6,110 worth of donations, which, I must admit, is extremely awesome. Even better, out of 23 proposals we chose for support, 13 have been fully funded! Still, it falls a bit short of our $10,000 goal. And this despite the fact that we've been fortunate enough to receive boosts from the following awesome blogs and quasi-blogs:
US/LHC Blogs (unofficially)
And what is more galling, despite this groundswell of support, Uncertain Principles has pulled ahead! And he's only one blogger (plus a dog). Are you going to stand for that? It's a great program, and you feel great after you donate. It's the swank $200 donations that get all the glory (and we're very grateful for them, don't get me wrong), but -- following the lead of the Obama campaign -- we're running a people-powered donation drive here. For the starving students out there, consider throwing in $10. Contributions that size would really add up if everyone chipped in. A small price to make the world a better place. But hey, I know how it is. Money's tight, and in times like this you have to look out for yourself. We understand that, and we won't be bugging you any more. I just wanted to point out to you this little missive on the subject of charitable giving. You see Flavor Flav there? That's you. You are Flavor Flav. Hey, it's your choice.
