First of all, thank you. Thanks to the hardened gamers who came out in droves to vote for the panda avatar I'll wear for my 24-hour long virtual marathon in Second Life. The mad rush of support for this year's digital Relay for Life has been extremely heartening; it's been great to see so many people support the American Cancer Society by submitting their votes on flickr and on the blog! I'm out a whopping 13,700 Linden dollars - the equivalent of $52.06 (at the exchange rate of 100 Lindens to $0.38) - from this drive alone. Thank you all!
Second, against the better attempts by gamesbloggers (who overwhelmingly voted for the South Park Sexual Harassment Panda), the winner is Polom Panda, the freaky looking guy with the big purple eyes created by Second Life resident Aretis Pollack (part of the Pirate Kitty line of avatars and accessories). Polom beat both the SPSHP and the Tiny Panda by 12 votes. Props go to the other creators, Jenee Marten and Checho Masukami.
Now to set to work creating the little tags for for the panda for the 69 people who voted...
