New idea on voting for Matt for torch bearer....


I give all credit on this idea to Electronic Vagrant.
He proposed using Tor (download page) to vote for Matt to be torch bearer. Now, yes, this takes a bit of effort. But, if you were thinking about using Tor to do some simple anonymous browsing, then download it anyway and vote for Matt.
Since Matt said it logs IP addresses, this would be a way to get around that.

Two other options:
1) You can download Tor and then use a Firefox extension called Tor button to turn Tor off and on in Firefox. Although more people have viewed this page with IE 6 or 7, I know that many of you use Firefox (and I highly encourage it).
2) You can download a portable (you can run it off a USB key) version of Firefox that is integrated with Tor, called TorPark. Just download, extract and run it. This also means you can put it on your work computer because you don't have to install anything (in case you don't have the permissions).

And don't forget to vote for Matt.

P.S. Remember to use Tor wisely, aka, don't start logging into websites with all of your personal info. I'll be monitoring your traffic on my Tor node.
