March Madness (or Even Do-Gooders Get Distracted)

A couple of weeks ago we installed a flat screen TV at GlobalGiving. Its purpose is to make it easy for everyone on the team (we are all in one big room) to see what is going on - volume of donations for today/yesterday, a ticker of who gave to what project in real time, photos of projects, etc.

Well, yesterday we figured out that the flat screen had a secondary purpose - we could watch some basketball on it too. While the streaming on CBSSports.com is really not that great, and the viewing window was only about 1/4 the size of our screen, it was kinda fun. Although there was a lot of pain over the Western Kentucky upset of Drake.

They say that the American economy suffers to the tune of a couple of billion dollars during March Madness. I've never seen any estimates of the impact on the non profit sector. Maybe we'll have to do a survey.

Go Hoyas!

I second that, GO HOYAS! I also say I am proud of myself, I was 50% more productive this year than last year, probably because my team lost in the 1st round :(
