Sometimes I just crack up at the Google searches that lead people to my website. I’m going to address some of my favorite ones: “how to attempt law paper” Well, lets be honest, I’m really hoping this is an undergraduate paper. If you’re talking about law school and it’s come down to Googling this phrase, [...]
Mosey on over to Social Media Law Student and check out my article on E-Books and Law School !
In my IP Licensing course, we spent last week discussing copyright (and patent/trademark/trade secret) protection of databases. Crazy interesting! I love movement and projects that increase access to publicly available data through intuitive platforms and so this area held a particularly warm place in my heart. I’ve always dreamt of a world where there was [...]
One of the preeminent sites providing independent information on open source software issues is Groklaw.net which is mainly a blog/forum where many programmers and software development companies discuss the changes in open source software cases as they develop.

A really interesting video tutorial showing the potential uses is here. I was a biochemistry major in undergrad and therefore I dealt with large datasets and this is just so incredibly impressive. I cannot wait to see what [...]
As many of you have seen, West has released Black’s Law Dictionary for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Now, I was pretty excited to see that. I mean I haven’t pulled out the print version since 1L, but that’s generally out of pure laziness. I usually chose to just not know what a certain word meant and [...]
I have to put windows on my macbook for exams and I really would rather not. I truly have no other options with the exam software we use, but I like OS X so much more. I’m trying to decide if it might even be worth it to just buy a little netbook with XP for this [...]
I know that to most, this is old news, but to others this will be a great new horizon. Pandora Radio, ladies and gentlemen. It’s an online, streaming radio station that you control by adding in your favorite songs and artists. It uses a wide database to find other artists and songs that you’re likely [...]
