Seed.

Posted on April 10, 2008
Has anyone ever been to the Seed Conference? With speakers like Jason Fried, Jake Nickell, Jeffry Kalminkoff, Jim Caudal and Gary Vaynerchuk, it sounds like it would be "conference" right up my alley. And with almost four years of law school under my belt, I sure could use a creative...

Whee!

Posted on April 10, 2008
Okay, I've been having way too much fun with the Wii lately. I got hooked when I played with one at a friend's house for their little boy's birthday party... but I was going to hold off on getting one--until I found out I could get guitar hero for the...

Clinton: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of Voters

Posted on April 08, 2008
I don't think it's a secret I'm an Obama supporter. However, recently, I've crossed over to being a Hillary opponent. If Hillary is the nominee without winning the popular vote and pledged delegates, I will not support her run for president. And here's why...

Baby Stuff.

Posted on March 31, 2008
No, seriously. Baby stuff. I had no idea babies had so much stuff available for them: clothes, blankets, bedding (which is more than blankets), changing pads, wraps, carriers, car seats, nasal aspirators, humidifiers, wipes, wipe warmers, diapers... It's all making my head spin...

Presidential Experience

Posted on March 18, 2008
I like McCain?I do give him credit for being an independent thinker (for the most part) and I don?t think all of his campaign platforms are unreasonable. But in my mind, the choice for president is quite clear. On one hand, we have an eloquent speaker who is intelligent and...

Idle Idol...

Posted on March 18, 2008
Well, I was not going to blog about American Idol. My favorite part of the show is the schadenfreude of the "audition" portion of the show. Plus, last week I cringed as the dorks (for the most part) butchered some of the greatest music of all time. So, imagine my...

Shake It Like a Polaroid What?

Posted on March 13, 2008
Well, I knew it would happen eventually... last month, Polaroid announced they will no longer be manufacturing instant film. Many artists are mourning because Polaroid film had some pretty unique properties, which I don't think digital has managed to capture--yet...

My Best Test Result Ever

Two test's confirmed it: But it didn't seem real until the ultrasound images!...

MovableType: Apparently, We No Longer "Get It"

Posted on February 27, 2008
We'll it appears that the upgrade to MT4.1 broke commenting on my blog. Now, this wouldn't be so bad--if I had any idea how to fix it. Or, if, when I clicked the "Help" link from within my blog management console, it didn't take me to this page: http://www...

You Can Rent My Mind

Posted on February 26, 2008
Prof. today... "That's what I get paid for, my mind. You're all renting my mind. And when you work as a lawyer, that's what you're doing: renting out your mind."...

Dear Class Eater

Posted on February 26, 2008
I am not unsympathetic to hunger. Check out this blog. I enjoy food. I also understand that hunger can be distracting in class, especially an evening class. And when my blood sugar gets low, I get really cranky. Like now. You know what else makes me cranky? YOUR CONTINUED CHOMPING...

Wee!

Posted on February 17, 2008
Okay, I want a Wii. I am not a big gamer, but on two occasions in the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to play games that are seriously fun and relaxing... First, there was just about everything I played on our friend's Wii... she has a 4 year...

Trial Advocacy

Posted on February 06, 2008
I've been meaning to post about this for quite some time... At the end of the summer, just before the fall semester, I took "Intensive Trial Advocacy". It's an eight-day intensive course--and at my school, you have to take the follow up ("Trial Ad 2") the next semester...

Vote!

I already have... Kristyna for Judge! Have you?! If not, get out and do it!!...

Dalessandro's Cheesesteaks

Posted on January 31, 2008
I told you I'm not a food snob. Yes, I do love a really, really good meal--one that takes hours and involves many dishes, so you can relish the different flavors and enjoy the entire experience. But there's more out there to experience than just posh places--there's places like Dalessandro's...

Morimoto

Posted on January 31, 2008
Last November (yes, November) my wife and I visited Philadelphia for a wedding. While there, I couldn't resist visiting Morimoto. Morimoto: Toro Tartare For those who may not know, Morimoto is Chef Masaharu Morimoto's restaurant in Philly, which was his first in the United States...

I'm Back!

Posted on January 31, 2008
Well, I never really went away... but my posting frequency dropped off significantly. Last semester was crazy busy for me, with both work and school. So, even though I still had many things to say (I always have many things to say) I never had the time to write them...

How Law School Warps Your Brain

Posted on November 12, 2007
There are some commercials I’ve seen on television a few times (those rare few times I’m watching live TV, mostly games) from Liberty Mutual that disturb me to no end. They show people doing nice things for people… a woman pulls a guy back to the curb and saves him...

Bathtub Cheese

Posted on October 28, 2007
I enjoy all kinds of cheese. I love queso fresco and queso oxaca. But under no circumstances would I advocate, let alone eat, bathtub cheese....

Wikipedia Ban?

Posted on October 18, 2007
Apparently, there are schools or teachers that are “forbidding” students from using Wikipedia for researching homework assignments. Why they would do this is beyond me. Seth Godin brings up a good point: the way we find facts and information has fundamentally changed...

Don't Make Me Bleg...

Posted on September 27, 2007
Okay, I’m going to bleg anyway… Anybody out there have a Grand Central invite they could pass my way? Update: Got one (thanks, Ken!)....

Speaking, Naturally

Posted on September 22, 2007
I write a lot. I write for work. I write for school. As a result I spend a lot of time in front of the keyboard. Lately, my wrists had been giving me some problems. Ironically, most of my wrist problems don’t come from the keyboard but the mouse...

Fifth-Third Bank: Does Nice Customer Service Overcome Gross-Incompetence?

Posted on September 21, 2007
My mortgage is with Fifth-Third Bank. The first thing I have to say is that, at least in Chicago and on the phone, they have some of the nicest customer service people I?ve ever dealt with at a bank. They are just sweet. Unfortunately, they are (expletive deleted) incompetent...

Pilot G2 “Gel Ink” (4) for $8. Mont Blank Rollerball Refills (2) for $10. Cut less than 1/8” of plastic off the end of the Mont Blanc refill and replace the G2 cartridge. Amazingly fine writing instrument for $7. Net savings of over $200...

Yes, I Think I'm a Grown Up Now

Posted on September 01, 2007
My wife turned to me yesterday and said, “I’m going to call a stripper… and Amy wants us to come over at 4 and smoke some stuff.” For the record, the stripper charges $85 per door, so refinishing all of the upstairs doors in our house would run us $680...

Notes for a Law Lecture

Posted on August 28, 2007
“There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid...

Stephon Marbury: Jackass

Posted on August 23, 2007
So, Stephon Marbury thinks dog fighting is a sport?? “You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It’s just behind closed doors.” Okay, Stephon. The next time the Knicks lose, would you prefer to be shot, drowned, set on fire, or electrocuted?...

Blawg Review goes back to school with Blawg Review #122. With the school year almost upon us, it’s time for late registration—and you can’t register if you don’t know what courses are being offered. So, without further ado, I present to the Blawg Review Course Catalog...
