For a whole variety of reasons (birthdays, my brother’s extended visit, decision to leave NY post-graduation) Krissa and I have been making a serious effort to enjoy New York over the past few months. I’ll take the liberty of treating the blog as a personal diary (sorry casual readers), and put here a list of [...]
Passing on an announce for other tech-interested proto-lawyers:
The Software Freedom Law Center is currently seeking legal interns to join the staff this summer. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in software freedom and should be conversant in legal and technical concepts related to free and open source software, but no specific prior course of study [...]

Had a drink with a friend after my patents exam today. There was a van with a loudspeaker outside.
The goal of the van and loudspeaker were to remind everyone that a murder had taken place there the weekend before, and that if they had [...]
I’m spending today at a conference on user-generated content at New York Law School. Some notes from throughout the day.

I’ll be there. Drop me a note if you’ll be there and would like to meet up.
Not much to add to what I said last year.
I interviewed a couple weeks ago at a firm whose lobby overlooks the hole, and had some time to ponder it. The site is still powerful emotionally, even six years later, and I think it’ll always be emotional to some extent or another- as it should [...]
Interesting. Gregor talked about doing a co-working cafe in Boston some time ago, and it sounded interesting then; it sounds more interesting now that it is very real in Manhattan. I no longer exactly fit the intended target market of “entrepreneurs, designers, programmers and technologists”, but I’ll certainly try to sneak down [...]
To wrap up what has really been a stunning weekend Krissa and I went to have a cookout at a Green Market co-worker’s house. This co-worker happens to live right behind Stone Barns, a big (new-ish) farm-focused educational center with a fairly swanky food concession. I had a great time- lots of cool Green Market [...]
Good: I spent the morning in line for Shakespeare in the Park. Great to enjoy a little bit of what the city has to offer.
I somehow seem to end up in lines a lot.

Bad(?): my light enjoyment reading while waiting in line was “The Antitrust Enterprise: Principle [...]
