In the comments to my last post, Lane asks What do people use to read RSS feeds? And is it really better to read a blog's text stripped of all visual appeal? Well, those are two really big questions. Fortunately, there's an entire list of syndicated news readers. I really couldn't say authoritatively which are most popular, but I'm rather...

Uncharacteristically, I am about to give linking advice for your blog, rather than law school advice. Hopefully, it shan't be too painful. If you have a new blog, then you must publicize it. Email establish bloggers about your new blog. Try to have actual posts on your blog before you do this, because otherwise there is nothing to read. Make...

Law Professor David E. Bernstein is blogging. This is happy news, because his take on Lochner v. New York, Only One Place of Redress, is probably the most eloquent piece I've read on the subject. (And there's some awfully written stuff. I won't name names, but if you've read it, you should know what I'm talking about.) I am even...

Waddling Thunder has come out of the closet and moved his blog to the Harvard blog servers, in the process revealing himself as a Harvard Law student. Now that he's out, I must gently break it to him that (I think!) only Harvard and Cooley are really known for calling what is generally elsewhere known as "cite checking" as subciting....

NewsGator is making it capable to get super snuggly with Microsoft. It's a news aggregator that works inside of Outlook, so you can have Total Information Awareness all in the same program. How fun is that? It's making it very easy for me to organize what I want to investigate further -- all I have to do is drag and...

Acting on a hot tip, I was able to inch myself just a teensy-weensy bit closer to world dominance. I now own Outside Counsel. Bill, I'm sorry, but you answer to me now. UPDATE: Joining the evil empire is Sugar, Mr. Poon? Great work, everyone! I'm going to get the HR people on "repackaging" those executive compensation packages!...

Excuse me while I stake my claim: I am pondering the role of content in producing blog overvaluation. Hmmm....

You know, I've always wanted to have my own intern (a la Seinfeld). Free labor, undying gratitude for the resume enhancement I provide, and the feeling of providing a real learning experience to someone learning the craft (where's my coffee, you worthless scum?!). Apparently bloggers with interns are the new, new thing. In the spirit of capitalizing on every blog...

Faithful readers might know I have a mini-obsession with Vannevar Bush. Matt Webb says Google are building the Memex! He argues that the Blogger/Google combo -- the integration of authority and layered information gathering -- realizes Bush's vision. Interesting. I'm still waiting for the dark, cynical commentary on the merger. I'm sure there's a way to make money there, I...

Professor Jeff Cooper has returned! Yay! Our hearts were bereft during your absence. Plus there's a link to a wickedly funny blog I hadn't noticed before. (Bonus for all you guys - lots of half-naked women, too.)...

TPH at Math Class for Poets has some piercing observations about anonymity in the blawg world. I must admit that there is a definite psychological benefit to identifying one's self with one's own writing and there have been a few times in the past couple months where I wanted to say, "Hey! I wrote that!" I can't tell you if...

I have occasionally gotten some weird websites in my referrer logs, but I noticed recently that someone has been referring to me with weird porn URLs. I think I've found the source. I clicked on this page from my referrer logs to find out there is a company that will insert your blog URL into the referral logs of other...

I do believe CNN is hell-bent on getting me to stop visiting entirely. I've noticed in the past six months half of their news stories appear approximately 6-18 hours after an initial appearance on The Drudge Report. Of the remainder, the very few worthwhile ones are posted on Drudge. I can no longer actually read the page because it's so...

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's the use of the word "seen" in headlines. Why use this ridiculous addition when it can just as easily be omitted? Add the phrase "are said" to the list, too. I can understand the need to express hesitation or doubt. That's what "might" or "may be" are for. "Is seen" just sounds...

A new law blogger is writing on the subject of leaving grad school and switching to law school. I recommend these two posts for advice and thoughts about choosing to go to law school. By the way, a hornbook is a big ugly huge fat book, sometimes with bible-thin pages to accommodate its heft. Unless you're reading Chirelstein. (I am...

This page is the top-ranked page in Google for "law school gunner." How very exciting! (Via some destitute soul's misguided search in my referrer logs)...

Sam Heldman is hosting an blogger's open!...

Jurist at Pitt has done a nice little site redesign. Nothing major, but there is blog-incorporation. Looks good! Plus, they're linking to me (and maybe some of you!), which makes me all warm and fuzzy. What I really love about this site is that it's appropriate for all sorts of legal academics and professionals and non-professionals (like me) and just...

Lessig has caught the fever and is now officially blogging. Newsfeed is here....
