Note to bloggers: Make-A-Wish Foundation® has declined to allow participants to blog for them. They also declined to be a suggested charity. If you were thinking of blogging for them, you'll need to choose another charity.

I just had the pleasure of being interviewed by Zoie of Triple J in Australia. I was nervous, so at this point I have no idea what I said. We'll all find out together, as they have streaming audio over the web. I'll let everyone know the airdate.

Tonights celebrity nomination comes from Pop, who thinks Rupaul would be blogger on the spot. As a Ru fan m'self, I quite agree! Ru? You up for it?

For those who've asked: signups will close July 20, so you have plenty of time. Just be aware that if you sign up on the last day, you have to bring three sponsors with you. I will be putting this up on the FAQ as soon as I get a chance.

I've axed the countdown just for a few days. It was not only wrong, it was also causing problems for my mac-loving friends. It will return soon.

Big day! We're #30 on Daypop with a bullet. We have a ton of participants and sponsors already. We're (of course) trying to iron out wrinkles. All in all, an auspicious beginning.
After Neil Gaiman mentioned us, I had a thought. Are there folks you'd like to see do the Blogathon? Famous or not? I think a fun way to bring their attention to the event would be to link them from here, and then have everyone click the link madly.
Yes, I know I'm silly. It's a job requirement. If there's someone you have in mind, use the contact form to send me a URL and I'll do what I can. I'll start off with everyone's favorite uncle: Wil Wheaton. Whadd'ya say, Wil? Stay up with us?

Great launch folks! It's fantastic to see so many participants so quickly.
As expected, there are a few bugs in the system and we're working on them. There are problems with the sponsor totals that we're looking at, and the counter is not showing the correct start time for anyone outside PST. All will be fixed soon.
