Saturday, July 19, 2003 at 8:31AM Wish I could make pizza tonight in Santa Clara with Robert, Dave and hopefully you if you're in the area, but part of the reason I'm up here this weekend is to give an appropriate send-off this evening to an amazing colleague who is headed to the Eastern Front (Pittsburgh). Have fun, all!

Thursday, July 17, 2003 at 9:40PM Is the fellow next to you on the American Eagle commuter Indian? Working on a laptop? Wearing a navy golf shirt emblazoned with a bioscience company logo? Khakis? Comfy brown loafers? Does he badly want your PowerBook? When you pick up your rental car are the radio buttons preprogrammed to three great stations? Does the stifling heat have you contemplating a few unwise liquid nitrogen experiments? Good! You're there.
Thursday, July 17, 2003 at 12:27PM A report from Scott at Life, Law, Libido, on a Legal Times event yesterday in Washington, D.C.:
Pop Quiz: There is a large room. Among others, the room contains a former Solicitor General, the most respected Supreme Court journalist, a 25-year veteran of the OSG, two lawyers that won the two most famous Supreme Court cases of the term, and the editor-in-chief of DC's most popular legal publication. Who draws the most attention?
That's right—a blogger.
Thursday, July 17, 2003 at 8:28AM I leave today for a mixed work/family trip to the Bay Area. The work part will involve some meetings in Berkeley and a dinner in Emeryville—at which it will take an iron will to remember I am "in a family way" and may not order a Fog Cutter. The family part will involve staying with my grandmother in Los Gatos. She was born in 1909, when wireless technology already was the buzz, Teddy Roosevelt was paying high-protein workers' compensation, the first ham radio broadcast was made, and Shackleton's Nimrod expedition found the magnetic south pole.
The camera and computer are never far out of reach, so I hope to check in again soon from a town made for bloggers.
(In unrelated/actual news, Justice Brown goes to Washington; wow! As the Recorder points out, among other things this would open up a spot on the California Supreme Court potentially to be filled by a nominee of Governor Davis.)
