Save Baby Whales from Starving, Vote for SRI
The SRI Blog has been nominated for the Best China Business Blog 2008. Thanks to whomever nominated us (and no, it was not me or my wife, or my mother, or any of our employees). It's nice to be recognized. I hope you'll vote for SRI, and, like they say in Chicago (and now DC): vote early and vote often!
Please use Loretta Swit voice to read the following PSA (Personal Self-aggrandizing Announcement)What does a vote for SRI get you? For less time than it would take you to update your fantasy football team for this week's play-offs you can, instead help someone in a third world country; namely me.Just think, instead of winning your fantasy league this week, you can have the eternal joy that comes from knowing that you helped someone else win something almost as equally unrealistic--an online contest of blogs!Wouldn't it be great knowing that you, with just two clicks of a mouse, supported something esoterically larger than yourself? Instead of your typical daily dosage of white-middle-class-christian guilt, you can actually do something for someone else and absolve yourself of the sins of ancestors past.What have you got to lose except for a bit of your negligibly valuable time? Come on, admit it, you'd click this link if there was pictures of Condie Rice (just kidding) or a way to to help a deposed Sudanese crown prince get his money out of his country (still kidding) or even a clip of a Chinese Andy Rooney (not kidding--very funny!).Just two clicks of your mouse (one here and the second on the little green plus sign: +) and you'll be that much closer to nirvana. And someone else (me) will have, um...a better life too.Thank you, and God bless.(You can stop talking like Loretta Swit now).Here are some other really good blogs that you should support too. Of course, they won't solve world hunger or give you warm fuzzies like a vote for SRI will, but hey, they still have good stuff!China Law BlogAll Roads Lead to ChinaExperience Not LogicImage Thief Managing the DragonSilicon Hutong Source JuiceWSJ China BlogThe China Economics BlogThe China Sourcing Blog The China Vortex
