The Ninth Circuit clerk's office just called to tell me that it has reversed the district court on enjoining the election because of the use of punch cards. More details when I get them.....

Monday, September 15, 2003 at 8:34AM Shoshana Zuboff, co-author of The Support Economy, writes to students in today's Harvard Crimson ("Capitalism's Next Revolution"):
When we take our complex new lives to the door of business, we are typically met with adversarialism and indifference. Efficiency dictates that we get seven minutes with our doctors, even though we spend hours navigating automated phone trees and negotiating with call centers. Legitimate insurance claims are routinely rejected to keep costs down. Do you know anyone who looks forward to calling his or her telecom provider or bank to question a bill? Have you tried calling an airline lately? Managerial capitalism was great for making cars, but it has been a disaster when applied to services and is hopeless in the face of our new yearning for support.
In the article and her book Dr. Zuboff further explains why and how she thinks these undeniably colliding forces will transform business, capitalism, and daily life.
Monday, September 15, 2003 at 8:00AM Jeff Beard of Quarles & Brady LLP writes LawTech Guru [via Ernie Svenson]:
It's ironic how one can make the largest difference by doing a simple thing: communicate. I am often amazed by the improvement gained just by showing someone how to use something they already have, or pointing out something new that's actually useful (what a concept!). All of which are reasons why I created the LawTech Guru Blog. That, and an insatiable desire to write and share ideas.
Of course, learning and playing with new tech toys is irresistable too.
Scarcely a week old and already a terrific resource, it's great to see Jeff off and running.
Monday, September 15, 2003 at 7:24AM Mad Kane's songwriting goes interactive with the help of David Giacalone, who inspired a new verse for the ditty featured here Saturday. Both share a bunch more spots for legal funnies (many of which ought not to be legal), and Tom Mighell chimes in by email with a Texas-sized threat to the Capitol Steps. (Last production: "My Big Fat Geek Lawyer.") I do love a silly weekend.
