Hibernation

It’s been wintry freezing cold here and I have not been able to rise and shine in the mornings at all. Three bangs on the snooze bar, minimum, every morning, even when I went to bed early the night before. I think I am related to bears. Call Stephen Colbert!

Randomness:
  • Life is always busy, so why can’t I ever post anything here? Maybe Audacity had the right idea.
  • Amazon has magazine subscriptions on sale. The magazines in my office’s waiting room are four years old. Should I gift a subscription to my office? If so, what would my clients like to read while they wait to see me?
  • Chyrp is a new blogging/tumblelogging platform I just learned about. Looks cool.
  • I also just learned about this essay by David Foster Wallace from 2005. I’d like to read it but since law school I don’t think I’m smart enough to read Wallace anymore. Law school is a good way to make stupid.
  • I spent two days last week at union meetings and they also made me stupid. If I were a poet I would write a poem called “Union Negotiations” and it would be all about freezing temperatures, a world frozen solid so that sound carries for miles w/no meaning, buffeted and interrupted by the howling wind. It’s lucky for you I am not a poet.
  • The writer’s strike may be over and that makes me both happy and sad. The strike was depressing to me, but mostly because it went on so long w/so little impact. It seemed to me yet another sign of the waning power of collective action and unions in general. I hope I am wrong.
  • I wish I could tell you which sucks more: Mean people or selfish people? Many times meanness and selfishness are the same thing.

    I’m totally bummed that Audacity is gone.

  • The Social Network as a Career Safety Net:

    The old business adage that it’s not what you know but who you know takes a twist in the Internet era: it’s what you know about social-networking sites that can get you ahead. *

  • Law X.0: Jury Selection Using Social Networking Sites:

    Such sites are a treasure trove of information about potential and seated jurors that can be used in picking the right jurors, bouncing potential jurors and even influencing jurors through the trial and in closing arguments. *

  • Early Reactions to Obama's Pick:

    On the GOP side, the sound you heard was disappointed silence. Of everyone on the short list, the candidate many Republicans least wanted to see Obama pick was Biden. *
