Yesterday, I posted this appearance by “the Sword” on August 21, 1989 at the Mayor and Common Council hearing:
PUBLIC COMMENTS – THE SWORD
A citizen identifying himself as the Anti- Christ Spiritual
Leader of the House of Ying, also known as the Sword, appeared
before the Council with a mask. He stated that the mask is to
prevent a robbery, not to commit one. He spoke regarding time
allotted at Council Meetings for public comments.

In a paperless practice, screen size is critical. Don’t skimp on the screen real estate. You have two choices: jumbo monitors or multi-monitor setups. I’ve opted for the jumbo monitor.… [read post]

As I’ve started talking about the game I’m developing, I hear people throw out the phrase “gamification of legal services” to describe my project. That’s not what I’m doing and the terminology does make a difference. There is gamification, serious games and simulations and then there are games. The difference really has to do with the design goal.
This is a running debate that gets pretty heated in the game industry. The best known example is the… [read post]

A buddy of mine, who does IT for a large company, recently shared an email he received from Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Amazon EC2 is a web service that provides compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. IN conjunction with Amazon EC2, Amazon also offers:
Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes are network-attached, and persist… [read post]

The most recent technology rage is something called “Google glass” which is a eyewear frame with a minicomputer incorporated into the frame. The headset takes photographs, shows the time, can tell you the weather and will record video and let you share photographs and video on the Internet.
The headset even shows directions to points of interest and can send email and text messages by dictation. Whether or not you have Google glass fitted with prescription or other… [read post]

Over-the-air television is making quite a stir these days, and not just as a matter of copyright law (see NY Times article). Soon, the next generation of radar will harness over-the-air broadcasts to track aircraft over London. The Economist explains how the technology, known as a passive radar system, works:
The experimental system that will begin operation in June does not send out any signals of its own, but instead relies on a network of receivers to pick up television programmes. . . . By… [read post]

This post makes an important point, “ignore technology advances at your peril.” Recently, my laptop died and I had to learn Windows 8. I was not happy about learning an entirely new paradigm for managing my computer but the fact is, there will be time savings associated with this that may help.
Take the Plunge & Learn that New Technology
Ten years ago, I saw cell phones as annoyance and disliked how distracted people became because of them. I had to be dragged… [read post]

Step away from the scanner.
Or so says FolNer LLC and more than a dozen other shell companies, all claiming to own four patents allegedly covering the act of scanning a paper document and sending that scan by email. As reported by NBC Connecticut, a collection of LLCs with six–letter names (like FolNer) continues to target small businesses, like Southeastern Employment Services of Old Lyme, Connecticut. The LLCs are all Delaware entities associated with a company called MPHJ Technologies, to… [read post]

So, you’re on your way home from work when somebody behind you, distracted by their cell phone, slams into the back of your car. You step out, back aching, and look over the damage. This seems pretty straight-forward. The guy who hit you is clearly at fault. So all you have to do is get his insurance information, contact your insurance agent, and his insurance company will pay for everything, right? Wrong. This is a perfect example of how something might look simple when in reality it… [read post]

In a paperless practice, screen size is critical. Don’t skimp on the screen real estate. You have two choices: jumbo monitors or multi-monitor setups. I’ve opted for the jumbo monitor. Here’s why:
Multi-monitors are great for segregating programs to different screens. They look very cool. But if you are reading this, you are an attorney, not a day-trader. You will spend the majority of your time at your computer doing two things: reading and writing. Most of what you do falls in… [read post]
