The more I read about Howard Dean, the more I am convinced that he will be a serious candidate that will frighten the Republicans during primary season. Check out this article from a couple weeks ago in the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine. While some hint that he’s really just running for Vice President or Secretary…

From Jennifer Klyse, exactly the kind of project that would generate a tremendous amount of attention and awareness of how weblog technology can produce tangible benefits: What I’ve been working on when I haven’t been at work.. I had an idea for a newsfeed. Since I’ve become completely hooked on my aggregator in Radio, I find myself…

Will Ferrell as Santa Claus in a couple parodies of Apple’s Switch campaign… On Santa’s run-in with the law: “Merry Christmas! … or Happy Holidays! I could go either way.“ On Santa’s iPod: “980 Christmas songs. And 20 Doobie Brothers. And 1 Sheryl Crow.“ Yes, the Ellen Feiss ad is funny. But there’s something about…

Ernie nails it : “[E]ven more important is the conversation that is taking place amongst lawyers in San Fransicso, Chicago, Maine, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Brussels.  Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web precisely so that such conversations could take place.  And people like Ev Williams and Dave Winer created simple tools to facilitate…

That’s it, I’ve got to read Cryptonomicon again – From CafeauLait.org: How did Enoch Root come back from the dead? He dies in Sweden in 1944 on on p. 541 when “the only other people in the room are Rudolf von Hackelheber, Bobby Shaftoe, and the Swedish doctor.” Then, 55 years later, Enoch Root shows…

My good buddy Erik Heels has published a fantastic primer on how to choose domain names. In a former life, Erik and I wrote a book togeter (the well-written but terribly-titled Law Law Law on the Internet) and we continue to co-author nothing.but.net for the American Bar Association. Today, Erik’s an IP lawyer based outside…

Guess this is as good a place as any to vent. I was invited to speak at a conference next week in DC. Attendees will be c-level marketing executives from the nation’s top law firms. While there are plenty of qualified possible speakers out there, the conference organizer invited me because we’ve known each other…

An absolutely wonderful day. Made waffles for everyone (my wife and two sons, and my in-laws are in town) to start the day, then spent all morning and early afternoon cooking with my wife. Butternut squash soup (from scratch), followed by turkey (which had brined for 9 hours, then air dryed for 12) that was…

Dry Ice in the Toilet. What happens when you put dry ice into an airplane toilet at 33,000 feet? One unfortunate pilot found out, and the story is priceless. He turns and looks at the toilet. But it has, for all practical purposes, disappeared, and where it once rested he now finds what he will…

Check this bit out from yesterday’s All Things Considered: John Freyer decided he had too much “stuff” in his life, so he decided to have a virtual yard sale on the Web. He wound up selling everything, including odd items like leftover pork rinds, a set of old false teeth and his own eye glasses.…
