The
Talkathon is almost over, and it's time to acknowledge and thank some
folks. Here are a few awards for some
amazingly dedicated IMers and e-mailers.
The
award for Rickrolling me the most times in a single day goes to: kahini_i
The
award for the most press (negative or otherwise) goes to: loebage
The award for the most original emoticons goes to: Limpingpigeon1
The
award for the best pizza rollz recipe goes to: vezzer03
The
award for the longest uninterrupted IM conversation goes to: aren_vos
Now,
a couple of special mentions. First, to Trevor: thanks for immersing yourself
in the Talkathon and all things Internet. Your ideas were always entertaining
and interesting, if not always "good."
Second,
to my roommate, Danny: Thanks for putting up with a 30-day Talkathon happening
24/7 in our apartment. I can see how it might have made you lose it, above and
beyond your usual state of lost-ness.
And
to the rest of you (it would take me another 30 days to thank you all
individually) who dropped by, sent IMs and e-mails, posted comments, told a
friend about the i'm Initiative, downloaded a button, or otherwise supported me
over the last month, thank you, thanks so very much.
Last
but not least, thanks to the ten amazing causes. The work they do everyday puts
this measley 30-day effort to shame. You can continue to help them with your
IMs and e-mails-the i'm Talkathon's over, but the i'm Initiative lives on!
And
if you haven't joined the i'm
Initiative yet, here's another chance. See? Never too late.
