IT Directors Are From Mars, Lawyers Are From Venus: "In the anthropology of law firms, a few basic divisions stand out."

I think it's so funny that I worked for the consultancy that helped American Lawyer Media with their workflow.

Loop-the-loop

If I recall correctly, this is one path these connections took. There are multiple paths. "It's a small world after all."

Dave Winer pointed to Daniel Berlinger. Daniel pointed to Zimran Ahmed. Zimran pointed to Larry Staton. Denise Howell posted a comment in one of Larry's posts that I also commented on.

Dave Winer pointed to Jenny Levine, as did Jon Udell. Jenny asked for some lawyer 'blogs. I sent her Denise, Larry, and Zimran. She posted. Later, I read in Radio's aggregator, this post from Bill Humphries about acquiring LawMeme via Jenny. Going to his page, I see that he also reads Larry Staton. Bouncing to Denise, she's picked up on Ernie the Attorney through Dave Winer, while Jenny had introduced him, so to speak, earlier.

One of my friends works in a school system which uses some sort of filtering software. This page is now unaccessible there, most likely because I linked to this site.

Mister Robinson: "The word of the day is *. Can you say *? I knew you could."

I don't want my daughter repeating me, which is why we watch our language at home. But we can't shelter her forever. My first use of the word was in 1st grade. When I repeated it at home, while playing baseball in the back yard with my brother and Dad, I quickly learned how LifeBuoy tasted. I next used the word with great frequency in high school.

I haven't cussed out loud here. The reference was in a link. Or maybe the violating word was "screw."

"Built with the "assistance" of some high-priced McKinsey consultants (the same consultants who advised them to cut back on the maintenance regimen in Disneyland, a suggestion that has led to several near-fatal accidents and at least one fatality), the California Adventure is a prime example of what happens when a company abandons its visionary roots."

So that's why there was trash in the park, a loose piece of wallpaper behind the toilet in our room, and Grumpy working the concessions.
