So here I am at LAX in the American Airlines Admirals Club. And thanks to T-Mobile, I’m now a T-Mobile Hotspot customer – and this post comes to you via a WiFi high speed connection in the flight club. $50/month for unlimited minutes nationwide. I’m trying it out for a month – but may ultimately…

Some quick notes from the Marketing Partner Forum, which wraps up in a few hours: about 35% of attendees are lawyers (managing partner, marketing partner), while the majority of attendees are marketing directors or CMOs. This is a departure from years past, where the balance was often 50/50.One third of firms in the room were…

… has gotta be that the telephone in my hotel bathroom has a dataport. That’s right – it’s a separate room with nothing but a toilet – and barely enough room to turn around – but sure enough, there’s a dataport in the telephone. What were they thinking?

Chicago, x2. The movie Chicago not only offers superb dance, music and acting, but the story deliciously assaults courtroom acrobatics and media manipulation. DO check it out.Not speaking of which, Chicago blawger extraordinaire Rick Klau spoke today at the Marketing Partner Forum (on the subject of knowledge managment in law firms), and impressed and entertained…

I spoke yesterday with the guy heading up technology strategy for the campaign, and once the dust settles and they get their…

I’m finally coming up for air after two weeks of being radio silent (or is that Radio silent?). First off – my Treo arrived and I’m in love. It’s exactly the device I was hoping for – and a lot of folks at work are quite jealous. Some items that make it particularly attractive for…

Blawg, the law blog – well it was bound to happen.  There is now a site called Blawg, which aspires to be “your source for law & legal-related weblogs.”  Looks pretty slick, and even has a definition of the term “blawg.”  But I didn’t see any attribution for the origins of that term.  Unless I…

From The Economist: America’s policy towards Iraq seems confused and towards North Korea seems erratic. Is the Bush administration’s diplomacy doomed? … Mr Bush’s post-September 11th foreign policy, apparently so robust, will continue to be assailed by doubts, fears and details. Perhaps most important of all for Mr Bush, doubts about war with Iraq seem…
