Since 2001, some bloggers pick a day in July / August and blog at half-hour intervals continuously for 24 hours for charity. Blogathon 2005 will commence on this Saturday, 6 August, at 9 p.m. (Hong Kong time). Any blogger can participate, or, if one is not confident to have the stamina to finish the event (like myself), can sponsor. The donation will be made by the sponsors direclty to the charitable organisation through a weblink.

Many participants think of something special to blog, like blogging while wardriving, or writing a Harry Potter fan-fiction. It will be fun to watch.
