Some Thoughts on the Kindle 2

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:19:22 -0600

We've had a Kindle 2 in the house since they were released--I actually bought one as a Birthday/Christmas/Promotion present for my wife last year, but it never shipped because of the Kindle 2 Launch. Recently, we added another Kindle to the house for my birthday. Here are some thoughts... Things...

LexThink

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:13:54 -0600

Matt Homann has posted 10 reasons why you should attend LexThink:Innovate in March. And while I can actually cook 2 'three minute' eggs in less than six minutes, the LexThink conference format is both innovative and effective. Well worth the time, in my book. And Matt's put his money where...

The "Natural"

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:33:18 -0600

Thankfully, I live in Chicago, so my pizza options are boundless. However, I'm led to believe that in some parts of the country, people must resort to ordering pizza from a "hut". Well, last night, I saw a very disturbing Pizza Hut ad for a new pizza they are touting...

Blogging and Fatherhood

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 15:41:42 -0600

I've wanted for some time, since the birth of my daughter really, to blog about my experiences as a new father. I think writing in general provides a path to clearer thinking and new ideas. That's been my experience with blogging in general. However, in blogging about fatherhood, I also...

Trust me, I'm a lawyer...

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 08:37:03 -0600

No, seriously... I'm a lawyer!!! I was sworn in yesterday by Thomas R. Fitzgerald, Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. The long journey through law school is complete, I can now practice law in Illinois. Frightening....

Yes... We Did!!!

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:22:37 -0600

First, I am absolutely giddy... not just because "my candidate" won the election, but because this is an historic milestone in the history of a great democracy. Second, my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting President Elect Obama at a backyard barbecue fundraiser for his Senate campaign. It...

Everyday is Like Sunday...

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 15:07:12 -0600

So, I'm watching the Bears... not something I would normally be doing (I grew up in Indiana... where basketball is king). Anyway, a commercial came on for NFL.com, and I noticed the background music sounded familiar. So I rewound and replayed it... sure enough, it was Everyday is Like Sunday,...

Blawg Review #182

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:21:25 -0600

Just when I though it was safe to pack up the practice tests, I found out that passing the Illinois bar exam was only the first step. There is no reciprocity in the jurisdiction of Blawg Review! You will be given three hours to complete this Blawg Review. Your...

Joe, the plumber?

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:58:51 -0600

Like many of you, I suspect, I thought both McCain and Obama's constant invocation of "Joe the Plumber" to be rather gimmicky. However, there are some important issues that have come up since, related to Joe, which kind of make Joe the Plumber look a little questionable: 1. He's not...

Who won the debate, my friends? That one.

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:04:05 -0600

Dear Sen. McCain: With all due respect, I'm not your friend. I'm a voter. Every time you say, "My friends" I think you're trying to sell me something I don't want to buy. It gets a little sleazier each time you say it. I don't want you to be my...

Bailout? Shmailout.

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:27:44 -0600

Wait a minute. So you mean to tell me that, even though jackasses in the media insisted that the bailout was necessary to save us all from doom and that our puny middle class brains couldn't understand the gravity of the situation. Or that even though jackasses in the administration...

Fools Rush In...

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:06:06 -0600

So, the Senate approved the "Splurge" last night... 74 to 25. Now it's the House's turn... what will they do? I suspect they'll turn tail and pass it. Sad. Look, I am a middle class guy, living in a middle class suburb, working a middle class job. I understand the...

Hallelujah!!!
