Hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had an enjoyable day today. We’re all exhausted (have two little ones around will do that to you!) but we had a great day. Got a new TiVo (the Humax TiVO + DVD recorder), which I’m quite excited about. (Reminder to anyone who got a TiVo today: remember…

As I anticipated, Zach responds that Orlowski gets it all wrong: Don’t you know that journalists get it ALL wrong sometimes? You just spent two days hurling criticisms at me based on what a UK reporter wrote about me in The Register. He carelessly and radically misrepresented what I said while speaking on a recent…

Caught over at PoliticalWire, I see that Zach Exley says that: “The difference between the approach of the left in general, and the Republicans, is that the left was more interested in just putting cool software up. The idea was to put up the tools and let people use them.” He derided net evangelists who…

Josh — though promised a letter, I’ve never received one from Rep. Biggert’s office.

Matt’s throwing his hat in the ring for Influential and Important Legal Thinker. I think it’s a great idea: Legal Affairs Magazine is looking for the country’s twenty most influential and important legal thinkers.  I would have nominated Dennis Kennedy, but he doesn’t think much of the list, so instead, I’m nominating myself.  Today, I proudly announce my…
