I just sent out a Rando<\/a> that may be of interest to some of you:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4418\"<\/a>Yup, it’s that time of year again, and Twitter is abuzz with talk of a new #VWXPool!<\/p>\n

We’re using the same pool as last time, on the CBC website. <\/a>The group name is “Puck Science”, and the password is “VWXYNot?” – all regular readers are very welcome to join! No knowledge of hockey is required, as I think we’ve proven every year since we started.<\/p>\n

The deadline for pick submission is Tuesday October 1st at 4pm Pacific time<\/strong> – my apologies for the later notice than usual (and thanks to Lavaland for nudging me on Twitter!). I’m back on the grant application train again, so it’s my busiest<\/a> time of year at work, combined with an unusually active social life over the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

A note about updates:<\/strong> during the last two seasons, hosting and coordinating other hosts for the weekly update posts started to feel a bit like a chore, which made it less fun than usual. So, this year, I am decreeing that I will do updates whenever I damn well feel like it, which I think will be much better (for me, anyway, and it’s my pool, so there<\/em>). There’ll definitely be an end-of-season update, and probably one at the all-star break, but other than that I’m not promising anything! We can always trash-talk on Twitter instead – and if any participants have blogs and would like to post updates more often than I’m managing, you are very welcome to do so, whenever you<\/em> damn well feel like it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
