Chicago, x2

The movie Chicago not only offers superb dance, music and acting, but the story deliciously assaults courtroom acrobatics and media manipulation. DO check it out.

Not speaking of which, Chicago blawger extraordinaire Rick Klau spoke today at the Marketing Partner Forum (on the subject of knowledge managment in law firms), and impressed and entertained me no end last night at the Salt Creek Grille. (Sorry, no pics! Forgot my camera. Maybe this is a sign I need to grab one of those add ons for my phone.) He tells me Maggie Watkins, former national president of the Legal Marketing Association, has been a conference highlight.
[Update] A confusion of Maggies, apparently? If so, my apologies!

Slippery When Sloping

The Reverse Cowgirl seeks to justify the enormity of her porn collection, while I just strive to justify the scope of my ever-expanding blawg list. It can alternately resemble a jar of Sea Monkeys ("real Time-Travelers asleep in biological time capsules for their strange journey into the future!" -- they are, after all, "'The' perfect office pet"), or the biological antecedent to the gray goo problem, but when I see people like Jack Balkin sprout a weblog it renews my faith that adding water is a good thing. Here are a few new additions to the b&b blawgroll; use nonskid shoes and surfaces when available.

Lawyer and philosophy PhD David Koepsell has a healthy attitude toward readership: "I’m not writing this for you, so if you can’t stand the tone, change the channel." (Remember Steve Martin? "I don't need you. I can do this act alone. I often do.") [via The Blawg Ring]

Strange Pairings

Speaking of creativity and rock and roll ("Larry and the lawbloggers" - heh; do not miss the discussion flowing from Doc's Going Deep post as conveniently corralled by Technorati), have you caught the Johnny Cash cover of Personal Jesus (on American IV: The Man Comes Around)? Somehow, it works.

"It's Mine!"

Jeff Jarvis's Copyright Notice reminds me a little of RageBoy's Terms of Service (warning: page *moans*). In a good way.

Inner Pieces

Some enlightening yoga links:

Business 2.0: Yogis Behaving Badly.

The Christy Bag (never fear; a "percentage" of the $350 tab goes to Cancer Care).

The Gucci mat ($875; no percentage mentioned). Spotted in Los Angeles Magazine and Daily Candy.
