In a little under seven hours I’ll be waking up, finishing up as much work as possible, and then we’re heading to the airport for Los Angeles. Instead of describing how busy the rest of this week will be, here’s a glimpse at my calendar for E3.

Wow! Tons of PlayStation 3 games playable at Sony’s booth this year. This is going to be amazing. I’m stuck watching a decent-quality webcast of the press conference as the flight for LA doesn’t head out until tomorrow, but I’m pumped that there’s official confirmation of playable games on the show floor in this press conference.
Edit: We’ve posted a brief summary of the PlayStation 3 details revealed by Sony on Seriously!.

When I covered last year’s expo, I was usually only able to update once or twice a day, as I had to drop everything I was doing and go to the media center to upload content, or wait until I was done for the day. When looking for a better solution this year, I had the goal of posting regular, albeit brief, updates directly from the show floor, and stumbled across moblogging: mobile blogging.
Myself and another representative of Seriously! will be covering the entire Expo, from Wednesday morning’s 8 AM press briefing through the closing of the floor on Friday night. Regular updates will be posted here, including brief but to-the-point impressions of tons of new games, and of course, the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii (I still can’t type that without wanting to make a joke). Full-fledged updates will still be posted to Seriously!, so check both sites regularly to make sure you don’t miss a thing from this year’s Expo!
