As the leading cause of death by disease in kids, every year more than 12,000 infants and children are diagnosed with cancer. To put it into relative terms, that means 1 in every 300 kids will be diagnosed with some sort of pediatric cancer by the age of 20. I know, not the most pleasant topic… but just try to imagine having to live with it every second of you life, let alone think about it. Pediatric cancer can be caused by so many things, and unfortunately there is no effective way to prevent or cure it… yet.
Now, you may already know that medical research is the strongest chance that these kids have to fight, and research funded by you is a large source of research progression. Alex, Dan and Jeff of The Totally Rad Show know how much of an impact that one person can make, so they have decided to team up and raise money with Extra Life by participating in their 2nd Annual 24-hour Game-a-thon. We all play games for 24 hours straight anyway, so why not put those uber-micro skills to good use?
This fun and impactful cause supported by the Texas Children’s Hospital has gotten the attention and sympathy of so many of us, including your very own totally rad friends. Literally every cent you give goes to fighting pediatric cancer. I know times are tough and everyone’s tight with their budget right now, but you know it’s not as tough as being 12 and having to live in a hospital and fight a terminal illness every day. Your support in donating will make you feel so good (even better than beating Halo on Legendary) and quite literally save lives.

As you may have heard about recently, our very own David Prager, one of Revision3’s founders and producer of Diggnation, had an interesting evening last night. In his usual quiet neighborhood of San Francisco, he has an…unexpected visitor and as to what happened…well, best to let Prager explain in this exclusive advance preview of the FULL story coming on next week’s episode of The Digg Reel:

We’re super excited about the Streamy Awards! A group of awards to celebrate and highlight video production developed specifically for online distribution and since that’s exactly what we do, we’re psyched to see the awards up and running. What’s even cooler is that The Streamy Awards are asking you, the audience to nominate the shows you like. So of course we’d be flattered if you’d be kind enough to nominate any of our fantastic shows that are created solely for distribution over the web.
Any and all shows of ours you could nominate would be appreciated! Nominations close on January 23, 2009, so get in there and do some nominating!
thanks.

Yes, Tuesday is (finally), voting day. This long, long election is finally coming to an end. And whoever you plan on voting for, the most important thing you can do is to actually get out there and VOTE. I’ll be on a plane most of Tuesday, but my absentee ballot is already in the mail.
I’m not the only one urging you to get out and vote. Andrew Bancroft, host of The Digg Reel, got a couple of friends together and created a video that does a far better job of encouraging you to hit the polls than I ever will. Check it out, and then get out there and be part of the process!
So are we! In an effort to help everyone be as informed as possible, we’ve teamed up with the Commission for Political Debates and MyDebates.org. Starting RIGHT NOW, you can go to Revision3 Election 2008 page to learn about the biggest issues affecting this election and where each candidate stands.
Additionally, you will enjoy a live stream of the remaining presidential debates and clips from previous debates. Plenty of other materials are available, including voter registration info and a breakdown of how your opinions compare to others across your state and the nation.
Everyone at Revision3 is super energized by these elections and we want to make sure you, your family and friends are up to pace, too. Check out all the Election 2008 material right here on Revision3 and make sure to vote on November 4th!
