Earlier today, there was a video, that went around:

The video (which is well done), implores people to not vote if they dont care.

So, Im taking the same approach.

Dont Give. Dont participate in philanthropy. Just dont do it. Dont join sites like SocialVibe. Dont get involved with DonorsChoose. Just forget it. Unless you care.

Hopefully, that will inspire you.

I recently had the pleasure to sit down with the team at DonorsChoose, and was blown away by their commitment to helping teachers get resources that they normally dont have access to.

They asked me to join the Bloggers Challenge with folks like Fred Wilson, Robert Scoble, Michael Arrington and Kara Swisher (I did explain that this blog is read by my mom and the people I threaten in the street. Apparently, they dont believe me.)

What I can do, is ask my fellow Colorado Tech folks like Brad Feld, Seth Levine, David Cohen, Dave Taylor, Alex King and Andrew Hyde to get involved.

This is my giving page:

I have added Colorado specific giving opportunities. If you want more added, let me know. I would love to see every Colorado blog add the widget above.

Of course, like Robert says, this is one contest I dont care if we win, but a nice showing would certainly be amazing.

BTW: If you dont want to join this challenge, here is their leaderboard, pick one. Have fun.
