Thursday, February 27, 2003 at 12:55PM In the interest of journalistic accuracy (Into the Blog, LA Times, re Live from the Blogosphere), I believe the precise text was "Holy crap." (Hey, Ev's back. Phew.) Fun article.

Thursday, February 27, 2003 at 12:18PM Neat-o, check out the new Blogs at Harvard Aggregator. And Dave's right, it's fast. Caught my last post in less than 11 minutes.

I want simply to explain what I think is the most likely legal interpretation of the license so that people can better imagine how it might or might not work for them. [As always, I have to add the remark that people who have a lot riding on the licensing decision or want to talk about the quirks in a particular licensing scenario should consult an attorney.]" (2/25/03) Earlier post re Movable Type and CC licensing here. Someone should really jump on the opportunity to write this article.
Thursday, February 27, 2003 at 6:01AM A few things that have managed to crack through my current Wall of Work:
Bye, Mr. Rogers, you'll be missed.
Bye, Berman-Coble bill, you won't.
John C. Dvorak's PC Magazine column about the end of the moratorium on Internet sales taxes is a stunner: he's against it. (For some well-articulated reasons, too. A bit more background here.)
Patrick Norton has 3,500 or so helpful words on practical things to know about switching to the Mac. (The Mac's doing a bang-up job on the brief I'm finishing. Let's hope the same can be said of its author.)
Tuesday, February 25, 2003 at 8:01AM The article from the March, 2003 issue of the ABA Journal about legal wegblogs now is available online: Lawyers who 'Blawg' -- Attorneys Are Finding Fans (and Some Fame) Posting Legal Commentary on the Net. I like it quite a bit. The author Jason Krause did his homework, and seems to have a clear understanding of "the whole weblog thing." In addition to profiling Howard Bashman, Goldstein & Howe's SCOTUSBlog, Marty Schwimmer and me, Jason picked the brains of a number of other fine legal bloggers including Eugene Volokh and Rick Klau, who are quoted, and Ernie Svenson, who unfortunately is not. The piece captures the excitement and passion I think is familiar to those of us who have drunk the Kool-Aid, and is bound to prompt even more legal types to take up this action-packed extreme sport. "[P]lease move away from any blunt instruments..." (!) (Heh, only a true blogger can quote herself with such delight and abandon -- not to mention a bracketed initial-cap. And yes, I await with eagerness and not some small degree of raw fear the print issue's photos.)
[Later] Minding one's p's and mixed metaphors: "It's a fertile legal playground for lawyers." (!???!) I'm laying the whole of the blame for this on Glenn Reynolds for *seeding* me with playground imagery right about when this interview happened, and right about here.
[Later still] Eeek, the pics are up.
