International Man Of Blog

Stan McCoy is with the Washington, D.C. office of Covington & Burling, and writes the International Trade Law and Policy blog. [via Blawg.org] Stan is commenting on some very interesting stuff over there, which, taken together, could make for quite an exotic meal and/or vacation (shrimp and turtles, beaujolais, tiny island nations...).

Les Invalides

I must be slipping, this thing actually validates. (That should last about as long as hot sliced gelato.)

The Telltales

In the most recent upcropping of a theme here at Bag and Baggage (which someday may factor into an official declaration of weblogs a controlled substance), here are my current Top Ten Signs of a Microcontent Obsession:

1. If the situation called for a posse, you're reasonably sure one could be assembled.


2. When travelling to a new city, the people you know there and along the way—but haven't yet met—are prominent in your thoughts.


3. You suppose you really should try harder. (Note, #1 is—of course—a blogger, wife of a blawger, and either or both may bump into Ernie at SXSW.)


4. Your weblog's redesign—and redesigner—hail from Leamington Spa.


5. Your weblog does recruiting, and it's in good company.


6. Your weblog is an ardent supporter of the arts.


7. Crazy Eric's got nothing on you.


8. It may say "Important Document Inside!" but you know better.


9. It's not uncommon for you to commence a citation in a brief with an angle bracket—then wistfully have to delete.


10. You're still mourning the passing of an inordinately talented and even-tempered rabbit (with whom you never were personally aquainted).

Milestones

Decnavda: "I have blogged every Tax Court opinion released this year.

At least, for the next two hours."

Rick Klau: "Of course, now they all do."

Law School, To Go

The California Bar Journal reports that the Concord University School of Law is the first and only online law school (in existence since 1998), that its first class of graduates just took the bar exam, and that it is seeking accreditation.
