Daily Mammal is totally impressive
blogging
A friend, Jennifer at the Daily Mammal, just completed what can only be called a mammalathon: she illustrated 24 mammals in 24 hours. The idea was to have people sponsor a mammal by donating to $25 each to Defenders of Wildlife, then Jennifer would illustrate roughly one mammal per hour. Ted, her husband, kept updating the blog with status posts (check out the pics of Jennifer right after starting and then right before finishing!). I asked Jennifer to illustrate something obscure that would be fun to draw... so she did the very weird Gerenuk or giraffe-necked antelope.
A very cool idea for a very good cause. I don't know if I have a skill that I could do for 24-hours to do a similar fundraising event... hacking? baking? running?
