Joy London works with Chris Smith at “BigLaw” (they prefer to keep the name of their firm quiet, which I’ll respect). I discovered her site after seeing a link at Chris’s site, and I’m hooked. Whether it’s the title (“Excited Utterances: More than just an exception to the hearsay rule”) that I find terribly clever (it’s…

“Ernie The Attorney sends a comment that answers my desire for an Identity Manager! This may not have everything that you are looking for, but I use it and like it. It’s free and it’s name is….? Roboforms I hope it helps. I can’t imagine living without it. Thank you Ernie! RoboForm looks pretty cool.…

There are no original ideas anymore. I’ve been thinking about trying to locate other blogs by location – to see who’s in what region, get a feel for how their location might affect their writings, etc. A while back I wrote about getting a group of us Chicago-ans together (I’m very impressed wtih the name…

I followed the NY Times bit on movies in the car, then saw Jenny’s comments on the same. These were quite timely, as my wife and I hit the road Saturday morning for the Chicago to Philadelphia drive. It’s an 800 mile drive, and with a 2 year-old and a 2 month old, we were…

Mind-bomb: Weblog Neighborhood Tool.   [Scripting News]Now how am I supposed to keep up with all this stuff if they keep updating the software every week fer crissakes?

The engine on your Lexus freezes up at 160,000 miles instead of 300,000. You take a financial hit and you are…

Hands down, the weirdest piece of spam ever. I shudder to think what individuals this will attract from Google…

Interesting. Nick Denton’s three favorite TV shows happen to be my three favorites, in fact they’re the only shows I like. Last night The West Wing wasn’t on after last week’s fabulous season finale.
