Rickter Scale

Now that it's official, congratulations again to Rick Klau, now Strategic Partner Development Manager at Google. Looking forward to seeing more of you dude. Son Tyler has declared early he wants to work at Google; he always sees people on the basketball court at the Newport Beach offices and approves heartily. Gives me good ammunition for motivating his (pre)school performance.

@cosulliv755

Thanks cosulliv755, your comment on the most recent TWiL made, like, my next 2 1/2 decades. Particularly loved this bit:



'Listening to a podcast about the law, really.. are you sure ?? There wasn't a farming podcast you could find, or perhaps one regarding the evaporative qualities of paint ?'



(Which opens the door to mentioning no one's commented on the show in iTunes since February — so go talk!)

Among The Things Still On My Technorati Watchlist

Billy Merck: "Our tipster suggests that perhaps the summers in the New York office ought to take the associates out for lunch."

Anonymous commenter, same post: "Iz in ur summr program...eatin all yer food, wastin yer space."

Another anonymous commenter claims to have the lowdown from inside sources.

And finally, from Father of a third year at RS: "It's just so unseemly to see people mostly under 30 in the top 1% income bracket whining publicly about having to make do on $150K or more a year."

Why do law firms let this kind of conversation and speculation go on without their participation and clarification? (Strikes me as an exercise in degradation...)

These days even the generally wearable J. Crew and Banana Republic "suiting" options leave me cold. The mere thought of any form of gabardine gives me rickets.

Demotivating June

On this month's calendar page, Consulting: "If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."
