I.C.E.

This is why we are not moving to LA:

Neutrality

One of my favorite law school classes this year does not teach any law.  It teaches public speaking.  In it, we give short speeches each week, and in return, receive feedback and advice.  This week, I defended net neutrality.  Overall, I did a decent job, but one problem was that the composition was too dense as a [...]

North and South

This weekend, Theresa and I had the great pleasure of participating in one of the South’s finest traditions: the Civil War Reenactment.  Specifically, we took in the sights and sounds of the Battle of Standardsville, which is close to C’ville.  And what a time it was.
It was clear from the outset which side we were meant [...]

Move over Superman

As anyone who watches local television would know: digital television is in the air.  Because over-the-air television is broadcasting digitally, we get more channels and a much sharper picture.  But the best part of the whole deal is that Theresa and I now receive three separate PBS channels!  This means that there is more opportunities to watch [...]

Day II: Memphis, TN

At long last, I am pleased to bring you part two of Daniel Harker, Pete and my adventures in Mexico.  (Maybe we’ll actually get to Mexico in this segment.)  If you haven’t read part one, check it out here.  And stay tuned for the continuing saga. 
As relaxing as you may think it is to nap [...]

Decision ‘08

Canada officially declared its own federal election today. Amazingly, with election day on October 14th, it will be over weeks before its American Counterpart. Now that’s and election I can get excited about.

Obama

Despite the general disutility of labels in general, I am prepared to finally find a name for my political inclinations: I am a liberal-leaning independent. As a liberal sympathizer, I generally prefer the democratic platform to the republican. But as an independent, I am part of that vigorously courted class of Americans who [...]

DNC 08

Watching the Democratic National Convention these last few days, I must say that it is good to see Barack and Hillary finally getting along. It seemed like their prolonged primary battle would never end, and I for one (and Theresa for another, I can safely say) will not miss it. Well, I will [...]

A Redecorated Life

This week has been one of designing, or perhaps more properly, redesigning, and I’m not just talking about this blog. For months, Theresa has been sketching and re-sketching a new design for our apartment. But since we have be transient for the last while, her careful plans have had to wait – until [...]

Rising 3L

Everyone in law school circles knows that a the third year has a reputation as being the easiest. With offers in hand, most students need only to graduate, and therefore do not have the same pressures as either first or second year students do. Which means that this, the beginning of my third [...]
