Blogging from the D2 state meet

I'm going to attempt to live-blog the D2 state meet tonight. Instead of setting up a live-blogging device, I'll simply start a topic -- probably "D2 state meet live" and continually update it throughout the meet. I've never tried it before, and am hoping the Natatorium wi-fi works for me. We'll see how it goes.

Good luck to all state meet participants!

Phil,

We do not have free WiFi here on campus...sorry. So unless you have someone here with a NetID along, or you have an aircard you will be out of luck.

I'm apparently arranging to get a NetID there--so I'm told.

Coach Ky said...

Maybe we could have someone do Twitter updates as well?

I may try to do some myself during Division One in between swims.

Gotta love connections ;). I have found in the lobby area the connection to our wifi is good. Used it last year at 12 & U State. Did not try and use it inside the actual Nat. Had to tell a few envious folks that they could not log on with out being a UW student or employee.

Your faithful correspondent is on; diving is about to start.

Great crowd, in part because the team race is so close and there have been some very close races -- 200 IM and 50 free. And the crowd really did appreciate and cheer Hojan-Clark's incredibly 500 swim -- she nearly lapped a final-heat qualifier. I'm down in the room next to the coach's room, alongside Tom Sch. of WIAA who puts up results on the web. Really top-notch atmosphere here.
