Update: Antarctic Vote Count

The current Antarctic Trip Vote count is as follows; 746 - 593 - 493 - 425 - 298 out of 235 candidates registered. I am in second place.

If you've already voted, then please encourage your family, friends, colleagues and neighbors to vote for the person whom you think would be best for this unique job: traveling to Antarctica for the month of February 2010 and writing about it for the public on a blog. Here is my 300-word essay; hopefully, you will agree that I am a very well-qualified candidate for this job opportunity. Voting ends 30 September and there is one vote allowed per valid email address (registration required).

I just received news that I have been endorsed by The Beagle Project! This is a registered charity in Great Britain that I've been quietly helping to raise funds in support of their proposed reconstruction and recreation of Charles Darwin's historic voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. They have come out in support of my bid to be the official blogger for the Antarctica cruise, so be sure to check out what they said.
