The Truth About Daylight Saving

Posted on March 09, 2008
The rule is that in the Spring you spring forward. In the Fall you fall back. So, tonight we lose an hour of our precious time. It does not make a whole lot of sense to me, but then, like Jeff Foxworthy, I do not understand how Jello works. But, beneath all of the hype, here is the down and dirty truth about this crazy system: 1...

Forget Multitasking, You Need To Be Multi-Asking

Posted on March 06, 2008
I received an email from a reader a few weeks ago that suggested to succeed at the solo or Third Wave practice of law, in any of its forms, relies first and foremost on the ability to multitask. I have thought about it now for a while, and although I do not necessarily disagree that multitasking may or may not be a component of work in the solo or Third Wave practice of law, the ability to survive and thrive depends on the ability to MULTI-ASK...

Poor Poor Bill

Posted on March 06, 2008
I just do not know what is going to become of Bill Gates. He has fallen on such hard times. Try as he might, he has fallen to only the third richest man in the World. It is sad really. You try so hard. You put so much into your little start up. You gamble everything you and your family have, only to see it all wither down to a mere $58 billion...

You Feel What You Consume

Posted on March 05, 2008
ABC News report on foods that can have a direct impact on your emotional state. Now all of us attorneys have to maintain a good frame of mind, and we need to be able to smile and enjoy life. So, a few of the devices that ABC recommends is salmon for its omega-3 fatty acids, milk for its calcium and amino acid tryptophan, Coffee for its aroma and caffine, dark chocolate for its poyphenols, and alcohol because it can dull your nervous system...

Music Video Banned Because Of Potential Medical Harm

Posted on March 05, 2008
Have you ever heard of such a thing ... and, what a legal niche this might be. Apparently, the new Gnarls Barkley video of his new single "Run", below, has been banned from MTV because the clip fails the so-called "Harding Test". I guess, unlike this blog, TV represents push technology, which is a style of communication protocol, often associated with the Internet, where the request for a given transaction originates with the publisher -- in this case the TV station or cable outlet...

Mac Gaudy

Posted on March 04, 2008
I am not sure who I despise more. The people who design gaudy stuff (because they think it is artful) or the self-centered people who pay outrageous sums for this crap. Well, thanks to the wonderful people at Bling My Thing the Mac-niacs can now be chic...

If you work at home you might get enough sleep by avoiding the commute in the morning, which would let you avoid taking a nap. But, it is nice to know that your favorite bed and pillow is just a carpet commute away. HuffPo reports that American workers are desperately short on sleep...

The Itch To Niche

Posted on March 02, 2008
Well, it rhymes in my part of the country where we pronounce it as nich. Some how, and I am not sure as exactly why this is true, law school or our legal education just does not seem to expose you to the wide variety of law that might allow you to satisfy this itch...
