Twitter Stream with updates from Japan

By the way, I don't know if this has been mentioned at all, but will the game be on a day to day basis or are they planning to keep it on for the weekend and turn it off for the work week?

Good question. It could be touch and go if the demand gets too high on the weekends. It looks like they are getting some repairs underway on other facilities. I forget the exact details...but they were announcing repairs to hydro and other facilities, and 2 days later.. we hit a new peak supply of 38.5MW in the region. Maybe SE has some insider projection about more power hitting the grid soon...who knows.

reminds me.. never did hear more about the Baseball leagues over there. Went to the JP Baseball blog and found a few posts on it:

PL announced they were going to hold off on opening day until April, while CL was holding out for 3/25. CL eventually pushed it back to 3/29. Both leagues are now listing their seasons as startting 4/12 at the Nippon site:

Service will resume normally, unless something happens to reduce power capacity.

Hmm... idk about this idea being batted around. People get confused enough converting time zones as is... lol

But I like this idea (provided they can afford it--we've had some banking snafus over here with this kind of thing in the past):
