First and foremost, thank you to everybody who has donated to my DonorsChoose challenge this year<\/a>. At the time of this writing, we’ve raised just over $1,700, temporarily good enough for first place on the ScieceBlogs leader board<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t contributed yet, we’ve got lots of incentives to try to get you to contribute. In addition to the various incentives I described this weekend<\/a>, the Corporate Masters are once again raffling off prizes ranging from magazine subscriptions to an iPod Touch. Janet has the details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If even that’s not enough, I said back at the beginning of this that I would offer some sort of big incentive<\/a> for reaching the full challenge goal of $6,000. I got a couple of good suggestions, but you can blame Scalzi<\/a> for the winner:<\/p>\n

If my challenge gets $6,000 in donations<\/a>, I’ll dance like a monkey, and post video of it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This would be fairly amusing, I’m sure, as 1) I can barely dance like a human (save for the wedding shuffle<\/a>), and b) I have no idea what the Monkey Dance would actually look like. I feel pretty safe making the offer, though, because there’s almost no chance of the challenge reaching $6,000.<\/p>\n

Feel free to try to prove me wrong, though. And, just because I know somebody will suggest it, here’s some appropriate YouTubery:<\/p>\n
