UPDATED: The podcast is now available to listen to over at Blog Talk Radio (or embedded below the jump).
It's only about a week away, so I should probably take a minute to mention (again) that I'll be giving a presentation at the national SABR convention in Atlanta next Thursday. The presentation is called "Peanuts Baseball: A Comprehensive Look at the Wins, Losses, and Other Statistics of Charlie Brown and the Gang" and will be held at 4:30pm on Thursday, August 5.
I'm very excited to be giving this presentation (and, quite naturally, a bit nervous). Unlike my Peanuts stats posts from this January, this presentation will discuss all fifty years of the comic strip, from the first mention of baseball in March 1951 to the last mention in December 1999. The limited nature of the presentation (only 25 minutes total, including questions) means I won't be able to go into the crazy detail that I did in my first post, but that should be all right. I think I've structured the presentation to go over a good amount of information without being dry or boring. Plus, I'll certainly be posting something here on the blog to go along with it.
If you're going to be at SABR 40 next week (it goes from Thursday through Sunday), I hope you find the time to come by and see the presentation. It'd be fun to meet everyone in person. If you were on the fence about attending the convention, or just plan to be in the Atlanta-area next Thursday, I really recommend signing up for the convention. This will be my first SABR national convention, but I already know it's going to be a blast.
You'll probably see a reminder to this once or twice more between now and the convention. If you do plan on being there, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
You'll also hear a little bit more about the presentation/convention (and much more) tonight in the podcast that I'll be doing with The Common Man and Bill from The Daily Something. The podcast will go live at 9pm central time tonight - be sure to listen! The technical difficulties from last week should be ironed out, leaving more time for our stimulating talk (or a gross approximation thereof)! You can find the podcast here.
