Year: 2005

Couple years back, I wrote about Marc Chandler’s presentation at the CIO Forum, where he talked about how firms had to adopt technology quickly if they expected to compete for Cisco’s business; more recently, Ernie and Dennis (among others) pointed out that Laura Owen, Cisco’s director of worldwide legal services, wrote at Law.com this week…

Jon Udell posted to his blog about trends in enterprise wiki use, and had this to say about 2005: As the Wiki phenomenon enters its second decade, it’s hard to predict just how the technology will evolve. Two things seem certain: Wiki culture will continue to thrive, and enterprise users will continue to seek lighter,…

Superstar Senator on the cover of Newsweek and an upcoming appearance on Oprah. Minority Whip who’s willing to knock heads. Incoming head of the DCCC. The fact that Illinois Democrats have cornered the market on some of the most visible (and substantial) roles in DC and yet this isn’t translating into a robust state organization…

From OneMan, caught a new local blog that will cover the Aurora mayoral race: Openline. Anyone who calls me famous is alright by me. Speaking of the Aurora mayoral race, I noted here a while back that I had drinks with Richard Irvin, one of the Republicans running in the race. That thread led to…

I’d like to think that the blogs (see here for more info) had more than a little bit to do with this development. As of next week, Staples will be pulling all advertising from Sinclair Broadcasting Group.

WOW — talk about a great tweak… ForeverGeek live up to their name with these easy instructions for speeding up the Firefox browser, but only (as explained in the comments) if you have a fast computer and a broadband connection. Thanks to David Terrell for the link. [Paul Boutin]

After being a big fan of Sharpreader (for reasons noted here), I’ve gone in search of a new aggregator to read my RSS feeds. Sharpreader’s performance had degraded recently, causing my computer to slow down while it processed my list of subscriptions. I tried contacting the author, but as Jack noted recently, development for Sharpreader seems…

Dennis Kennedy announces Jim Calloway’s new blog, definitely one worth watching: I learned today that Jim Calloway’s Law Practice Tips blog has made its official debut. What a great way to launch the year of 2005 in legal blogging. As you may know, Jim, among other things, is the chair of ABA TECHSHOW 2005, the…

Denise on the AT&T/Cingular merger: My AT&T/Cingular “Reception to Follow Immediately” “invitation“ was waiting in my office mail this morning. The Seattle PI Insider: “MAY THEY LIVE AND BE WELL, but better they should have spent the money on spectrum.” [Bag and Baggage] I shared my thoughts on this merger a few weeks ago; so…
