Wow. Less than 24 hours now until Blogging ‘Round the Clock<\/a>, and I’m already hyped up with excitement. I imagine today will be slow as I get things ready — I’m starting to realize that 50 posts will require some prep time…<\/p>\n

More pledges have come in, so we’re over $180 at this point. Make a pledge if you can, but keep in mind that Blogging ‘Round the Clock is also a celebration — no cover charge… I know Ryan<\/a> has already said he may stay up with me (though you can certainly back out of that, Ryan), and I hope you’ll all feel free to contact me at any time during the event. I’ve installed Skype<\/a> and have my Yahoo! IM information linked also, so pick your poison if you decide to drop in. Info’s on the sidebar (which I should mention drops below the main column in IE — I have no idea why, nor any idea how to fix it — looks great in Firefox, though…).<\/p>\n

The guest posts are looking great — we’ll have a full range of sustainable ideas and practices up during BRC, so if you’re still looking for a way to demonstrate to the conservative brother-in-law what sustainability means (and that can be difficult), you’ll have lots to choose from…<\/p>\n

Thank you again to everyone that’s helped out as I’ve prepared for this event — I really couldn’t have made it to this point without your support! I hope you’ll all drop by, and feel free to toot your own horn in the comments, etc.<\/p>\n

Finally, in addition to lots of coffee tomorrow, I’ve figured out another way to stay up: I’ll be playing Dungeon Siege<\/a> between posts. Don’t know what it is about video games (and I’m really not a “gamer”), but the hours just fly…<\/p>\n
