As most of you know from the email I just sent (which is the only reason you knew to check the mostly dormant blog), change #1 is my place of employment. I start work at Mortenson Construction on January 14th. That, however, does not end the Madness which will start its 11th incarnation this March.
Change #2 is that after 10 years of doing these manually, I am considering a move to automated brackets. I need recommendations for a site but I have some prerequisites that need to be met first before doing so.
1). Individuals need to be able to enter multiple times.
2). I need to be able to see everyone's picks.
3). It needs to be free
4). I would like it to maintain some kind of pool history (nice to have)
5). Easy to use and to make picks (you know this list--some people still don't know what a "blog" is)
Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated and the sooner the better since I still have time to investigate and determine the best solution--it is still possible that manual will be the answer for 2008.
Finally, change #3 is the addition of a third prognosticator to our home, Yzzi Ecarg, who will no doubt relegate me to #3 in my own home by the time we know the Final Four for 2008. I take heart knowing that I still control everything else in her life at this point and she can not trash talk me yet. Having said that, Assistant Tournament Director Raap Elleinad will be back for her fourth year with a three-year winning streak and will have plenty to say for both her and her daughter.
Oh well...at least Chewy can't talk (although I could swear he snickers sometimes).
Peace,
Reg
