Gameday and the Medblog Awards Radio Show

It’s gameday once again for my Green Bay Packers, this time for the NFC Championship and a trip to the Super Bowl. The New York Giants, proving themselves a team to take seriously in Dallas’ defeat last week, I’m afraid to say is too beat up and inconsistent to be a match for the green and gold. I’m not a superstitious person, so I have no “jinx” worries by typing this before kickoff.

The big story on the game is the weather. The 3-day estimate for kickoff was 4 degrees. I just checked online about 45 minutes ago and found this:

That’s for about 1pm local time; kickoff is at 5:42pm, so you can be sure it’ll probably be a bit colder, certainly dipping lower as the game progresses into the night. The temperature situation is serious enough that the Packers issued a press release giving safety/health tips and advice to fans attending the game.

The advice given above doesn’t apply to the comfortable temperatures here in Guadalajara, so my prescription for gametime is the following:

Like antibiotics, you should not stop treatment early, even if you feel better. hehe

In all the festivities I almost let slip by the fact that tonight is the Medgadget Medblog [Pre-]Awards Radio Show with the host, Dr. A, as well as Dr. Nick Genes, fellow Medgadget colleague and creator/coordinator of Grand Rounds. The show will be at BlogTalkRadio with the live broadcast starting at 9PM EST/8PM CST/2AM GMT. Be sure to log into the chat room a few minutes early to get comfy.

My “work” for the Medblog Awards was done back when Medgadget was responsible for collecting nominations and determining finalists, and since the final vote belongs to the public, I’d let things slip a little (and as a judge, my blog, however not worthy of being among them as of late, isn’t eligible anyway) In general, my blogging activities have taken a back seat to the administrative hassles at school, but this should show that I’m still alive and kicking and still not without humor. I feel bad for not promoting this earlier, but better late than never I s’pose.

If you can’t tune in tonight, you can catch the show archive anytime thereafter. Watch Medgadget on Wednesday, January 23rd, to see who the official winners are (and what lucky individual gets that Kindle)!
