- Thanks to Joey from mortalengine.com to pointing out that the comments were broken and have been since I moved hosts. This is what happens when you move hosts, have your javascript file NOT rebuild all the time and don't pay attention. I was wondering why y'all were so quiet... I thought I'd offended someone. |

- Why do we still add "gate" to the end of our scandals still? Watergate happened thirty years ago, and it's about time we let the ritzy apartment complex on the Potomac its name back, and remove the stigma from "gate" so it can get back to meaning something again. "Wilsongate" doesn't even sound cool. It sounds like a really horribly named, faceles suburb of Akron. Now, I know the Media will never go for this. |

- Thank goodness that's over. I didn't see the comment, but I sure am glad Rush is off NFL Countdown. I love the show, but seeing his face on the show every sunday made me ill. He added nothing to the show, and was constantly interrupting with his stupid blowhard comments and ruined the genial raucousness of the show that I loved. That show only has room for one blowhard, and his name's Berman. |

- Talking to my old pal Josh today, I came up with the funniest thing I've IM'ed to someone in a long, long time. We were trying to top each with our descriptions of how "awesome" something is (it's a stupid game, but it was funny). Here's my last contribution that so far has silenced him: It was as awesome as awesomopterix, the first flying awesome. Seriously, go read this interview with Wesley Clark. |

- I decided to take a break from the gigantic product I've been working on for the past four and a half years. I'm burned out on it. So, I'm working on this other thing now, and well, it's huge. I signed up for a plate, and it turned out the plate was attached to something. What I thought was a plate is actually a giant's toenail. |

- The Boalt Hall Alumni Association lunch was delightful. I bumped into some law school friends I haven't seen for years, and, if anything, Interim Dean Bob Berring has become an even better speaker than I remember. He first discussed news of the law school and its dean search, then moved on to the changing world of legal research. Since his articles on the latter subject have inspired some prior posts here, as well as the Blawg Ring's motto as coined by Rory Perry, as things were wrapping up I had a nice chat with Interim Dean Berring about weblogs and their rapid uptake by legal professionals. Emerson? |
