Congratulations! to the eminently notable Kevin Heller.

Camera Fund Closing

Here's a final link to the Doc Camera Fund, which tomorrow will wing its modest way to Sir Searls. (Wouldn't it have been nice to have his photos from Macworld?) Not too late to get in under the wire, but almost. Thanks to all who have participated and may yet.

TiVo To See Your Macs (And The Media On Them)

Eric wants a new PowerBook, but I am so down with this ("TiVo, Brother & Aspyr Announce Rendezvous Networked Products"). If you haven't experienced Rendezvous, you can't fully appreciate how cool this could be. (Ugly truth: I'm kinda jonesin' for Keynote too.)

The Pruf 's In The Rock

Interesting discussion (jocular aside -- when a lawyer calls something interesting, it's best to run) going on at Ernie's (here, here and here, and see the comments), about what comprises a useful legal weblog. A couple of quick thoughts. First, I agree with Po Bronson when he eloquently writes that "the human soul resists taxonomy." Second, I'll answer a question (are legal weblogs that stray from a defined "topic" of "use" in a law practice?) with a question -- or maybe it's a pop quiz in effective communication:

Ernie's weblog is widely read and appreciated primarily because:

1. It has a clever name.
2. It's practical.
3. It's a labor of love.

If you're wondering what my answer would be, there are some hundred visions and revisions we perhaps should discuss.
