Prepping for a hectic weekend

      Comments Off on Prepping for a hectic weekend

It’s going to be a very busy weekend, what with conference-tournament craziness all weekend, plus the St. Patrick’s Day parade Saturday morning, a Great Big Sea concert Saturday evening, and of course, the Selection Show and the start of the 15th Annual Living Room Times NCAA Pools on Sunday. Meanwhile, Loyacita and Loyette are both a bit sick, so Becky’s & my hands will be full on the home front.

All of this means that, even though Selection Weekend is practically a religious holiday for me, I’ll probably have even less time than usual for long-form blogging. Thus, rather than let the homepage become totally cluttered with endless tweets, I’m going to put a CoverItLive ScribbleLive window in a new post above, which will suck up all of my tweets & FriendFeed links. (This will also give me a chance to test out the CoverItLive ScribbleLive app on my new iPod Touch.) That post will be marked as “sticky,” and will stay on top of the homepage all weekend; any new blog content will appear below it.

I also probably will not do a full-fledged “live blog” of the Selection Show, as I had planned. Oh, I’ll still do some tweeting and whatnot during the show, no doubt. (I couldn’t resist doing that if I tried!) But no live-updating “Bubble Scoresheet” this year, sorry. Instead, I’ll probably just open up the live-tweet window to live-chat comments Sunday afternoon, so if people want to stop by and chat, they can. But nothing formal.
