I may have done this in the past, but I'd like to encourage all of my readership to consider joining and supporting my favorite NGO, Humanity+ (formerly known as the World Transhumanist Association):
http://humanityplus.org/
http://humanityplus.org/join

We're currently in the process of electing new board members, and I'm one of 10 candidates in the running for 6 seats. There are a lot of strong candidates this year, in part because Humanity+ has been quickly gaining momentum and more mainstream support.

So as an added bonus, if you sign up as a supporting member this week (elections close on Thurs, Jan 14), you can help vote me onto the board. Or, of course, if you can't stand my journal and want to help keep me *off* the board, I'd still encourage you to join and express your opinion :) If you're already a voting member, I'd also appreciate your vote.
I have tons of personal stuff to journal about, but all that has to wait. I just started a brand new job and am in the midst of apartment hunting, car hunting, a legal battle, moving everything both in and out of temporary housing, and lots of other logistics all packed into my first 2 weeks in the midwest. Rest assured, I'm getting things done and hopefully within a week or so should be able to start catching up on everything I've missed on lj while I've been moving from California to Illinois.
