I’m pretty sure you didn’t spoil SoaP for anyone, Joe, but that revelation about the sled…
(Psyched for SoaP on Sunday night, after I read more about the development of personal injury law, as it relates to train connectors.)
First few days of school are like a boot to the head. It turns out fear really does work as a pedagogical device. And honestly, I feel like I’m learning quite a bit- which is scary in and of itself.
First day, waiting for it all to start.
My distinguished prof, Michael Sovern. Yes, he has a [...]
I have finished my first set of readings for my first day of classes. Only 1,000 or so more to go.
An hour of my afternoon vanished into ‘Overheard in Law School‘ today. Best quote, capturing both law school and NYC:
“Frottage is the act of rubbing genitals against somebody for sexual gratification. For example, in New [...]
Some folks have expressed a bit of curiosity as to what exactly I’m doing right now- something a little more specific than ’studying law’.
The long answer (well, about three pages printed) is this fairly funny article from one of my profs.

Incredible what you find when you go into strange tunnels.

Found out my class schedule last night; only one class on Thursday and Friday, so should be able to set up my weekends nicely if I want. (M-W will likely be brutal.) Pretty standard platter of Torts, Contracts, and Civil Procedure.
In case it wasn’t clear, Mugshot is trying not just to create a bizarre (but [...]
After a few days of completely non-technical law school socializing (nothing too significant to report there; classmates seem pretty nice and easy-going, and are willing to drink ;) I got my geek on for a bit at the ‘Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Metaverse but Were Too Afraid To Ask‘ meetup. My [...]
Andy: The more I think about it, the more I think ‘where do we find capital’ is not going to be an approach that is successful for us as a community, despite what I’ve said about .gnome. Centralized capital means a centralized point of failure; it means reduced competition; it means that the little guys [...]
Who says law and code are all that different? A single extra/missing comma can screw you in both, it turns out.
