US Rep. Zoe Lofgren may now be the first sitting Congresswoman to post to a blog. She attended Governor Dean’s declaration of his candidacy, and shared her comments and thoughts about today’s events and why she’s supporting Governor Dean.

I’m back from vacation, and thankfully there’s still a day to register for the MoveOn primary – the vote takes place this week. In order to participate, you need to register by tomorrow. Go do it now! Here’s the deal: MoveOn, as I’ve discussed before, is a nearly 2 million strong grassroots organization. If a…

I’m on vacation this week, so posts will be (hopefully) light. In the meantime, feel free to leave comments on this post to share news/info with others. I’ll resume posting once I’m back home on the 21st. Have a great week!

MoveOn is considering endorsing a Democratic candidate in the race. An endorsement by MoveOn would be a phenomenal boost to the already…

A few weeks ago, the whole family went to a wedding in Boston. (Though I really, really want to, I’m going to refrain from telling that story.) We walked in the house, and I noticed the panel on the ADT alarm system was not on. Now, you’d think that if there were a problem with…

Law Offices of Erik J. Heels In short, I now believe that a weblog can be the main publishing platform for any website, including a law firm website. And weblog software is much more powerful than traditional web publishing software. So I have retired my old website home page and converted this website to a…

Pass the cigars, Mathew Gross and company have themselves a spiffy new weblog over at the Blog for America – where you’ll find a new look and feel, an updated blogroll with many links to new sites, and a new weblog application under the hood (Movable Type from Blogger). Kudos to the team who made…
