Help Blackfive Win a Scholarship
Collegescholarship.org has a $10,000 scholarship for bloggers that are also full-time students. There are 20 finalists, and for whatever odd reason, they've decided to let voters decide who should win.
Frankly, I don't know 19 of them and they may very well be nice people, but the 20th I do know, and I think that he deserves your vote. His name is Matthew Burden, but you'd probably more familiar with him if I simply called him Blackfive.
Hmmmm.
I'm surprised there are only 1,300 or so votes for him so far. I guess people haven't woken up yet.
