The irony, of course, is that a site whose entire claim to fame and raison dâ���ªtre was the exposition of â��Apple secretsâ�� has itself agreed to a secret deal with Apple. â��

Someone needs to stand up and decry the MPAA for what it is: a censorship board. �

@le_poulet Good choice to skip a run that sounds like it could hurt ur health more than it helps. Treadmill anyone?

The 2007 Public Defender Blogger Awards, aka, The Rodneys, are now in full swing over at Public Defender Stuff. I’m flattered to see that the imbroglio was nominated for Best Writing in a public defender blog. It’s very sweet of whomever made that nomination, but the days in which this blog featured anything close to quality writing seem long gone. I still harbor tiny little glowing embers of hope that someday, and someday soon, I will be able to find a way to return to writing here with the frequency and relative substance that I once did, but for now I must face facts: This blog has been in slow decay since I started working as a PD and I just haven’t quite figured out how to balance everything out yet.

With that in mind, I hereby heartily support Scoplaw or Woman of the Law, both of whom far surpass me in style and substance. And, of course, congratulations to Scoplaw, who just was officially sworn in to the practice of law in Florida! Woot!

I would also nominate Woman In Black, whose posts are almost always both entertaining and informative, w/a good mix of personal and professional content that keeps readers interested and also gives them lots to think about for their own lives and practice. Highly recommended!

Reading "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman from which I’m learning of "white knowledge" — like white noise but more useful.

The great thing about living in MT: The freaks r normal. The bad thing: They all have guns & they’re willing to use them.

What does it mean when you dream that one of the judges in front of whom you regularly appear is the professor in a graduate level science course you are failing? Two nightmares in one! An angry judge and failing a class. We’re talking fun! [tags]dreams[/tags]

What’s a girl to do? ââ�¡â�� Freaky cool video (and good song), w/props to my seester for the tip.

But u know what? Of all the bitches the one I wanna be is music.

How great would it be as a lawyer to be able to go back in time and file that motion you forgot to file or find that witness you forgot about? Talk about making this job easier! I’m thinking it would be awfully tempting to keep going back and back. For example, you get a client charged with possession for drugs found in his glove box on a traffic stop, but if you can go back in time, why not just go back to the night of the stop and make sure there are not drugs in that glove box before the traffic stop? Then you don’t even need to worry about getting the case dismissedââ�¬â��it would never be filed!

Have you ever heard of a time-travelling lawyer? Hmm… the possibilities are nearly endless!
