Preparing To Send The Kid To Ohio State Law School

Posted on June 22, 2012
So after my son was accepted to Ohio State Law School, a million things went through my mind."Do we really need another lawyer in the family?""Is he going to like it in Columbus?""Is this a good move since he already has a successful career?""With the family being from Michigan, will he get attacked at Thanksgiving?"These were all legitimate thoughts (save, possibly, the last one) that went through my mind...

What I thought of Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver

Posted on September 09, 2009
First a quick note: Quicksilver: Volume One of the Baroque Cycle is not the same book as Quicksilver: The Baroque Cycle #1. The latter is a third of a novel, the former is a fantastically vast and amazing tome of almost 1000 pages. Harper decided to play this bit of publishing chicanery upon us to sell more books to people who were afraid of books that weigh more than chihuahuas...

Watchmen Chapter I

Posted on November 23, 2008
Part of Heiligekuh's Watchman Read-a-Long: The first thing that really struck me this read is the color palette. The muted tones, the color washes, the poor level of color detail. I love it. I understand that most of it is just an artifact of the printing technology of the time, but now it seems fitting...

A Panda is NOT a Fixed Medium of Expression

I am a card-carrying member of the Zoological Society of San Diego. I love the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park, I love to hang out and watch the animals, and I love what the Zoological Society's missions and methods are. But when I was recently at the zoo, I noticed this sign posted in the Panda area...

Skill City!

Just a quick plug: you should be playing Skill City. It's got a pile of your favorite puzzle games, plus one you've never seen before, with the promise of much more forthcoming. And really, it's all very shinily packaged together. I'm still groovin' on the music, in particular...

"Take A Deep Breath" is Definitely the Best Advice I've Received All Day

Posted on April 30, 2007
I'm sorry posting has been sporadic, to say the least. I'm just not sure what the focus the TMA should be now. For that matter, I'm not really sure what the focus of Iason's life is, either. I guess I could complain about the trials and tribulations of a contract attorney, but I could never match of to the horrors faced regularly in New York...

Itsy-Bitsy Yellow With Polka Dots Bikini?

So, I'm more-or-less employed, finally. I got sick of spinning my wheels at home in front of the computer (no offense, computer), so I went to my employment agency and I asked for anything. So, I'm the receptionist for an certain not-for-profit local agency that, while it isn't explicitly in the business of practicing law, is swarming with lawyers nevertheless...

DJ Drama Arrested for Making Mix Tapes

Because commentary on current events will lend me a tiny amount of respectability: link. Basically, this guy is providing a service (making hip-hop mix tapes), and by this account doing the industry a favor, and the RIAA pays him back by getting him arrested and sent up on racketeering charges...

Tiny Claims

Posted on December 17, 2006
My two years at Small Claims Court taught me a lot. Mostly, that people are stupid. All that nonsense you see on The People's Court is real. Real people are really like that. Every day. Anyway, the only difference between small claims on teevee and real life is the judges, who aren't personalities and aren't funny, and don't try to teach the audience any sort of "life lessons" or some bullshit...
