I'm Just, um, Catching Up
So what happens when you post to your blog nearly every day for a while and then suddenly stop for a few days with no good explanation? Apparently you get amusing email like this:
Listen here [expletive of endearment],The only joy I get all week is to read your blog and natalie dee every morning and Gene Weingarten and Tom Sietsema's chats once a week. The rest of my time is spent giving birth—trying to learn things I didn't learn the first 1 billion times I tried, like con law. Don't give me excuses like that you are busy “helping people” and trying to make this world “better” by protecting people's “rights.” Just write thoughtful, insightful and clever shit every day. OK? And post it nice and early so I can read it during barbri.
Don't you just love it? I need more friends like this. Now that it's summer and I find myself living in a steam table.... oh, and since my days are a little longer than they are during the school year, well.... it's not that I don't want to post so much as there's just not always time. But hey, for you? I'll see what I can do. Thoughtful, insightful, and clever I'm not so sure about, but if all you're looking for is something more interesting than BarBri, that's a much smaller order and one I think I can fill. I'll try, anyway.
Ten things:
- Blawg Wisdom has a new request for advice and a new Books category, both waiting for your generous and inspired commentary and input.
- Dave! has picked up and run with the weekly law student blog roundup ball with a short but sweet snapshot of what's happening recently. Thanks to Dave!, this feature should be moving to Blawg Wisdom soon.
- Energy Spatula is back in D.C. and she's already causing trouble. Welcome to town, ES!
- Feeding my Mac obsession: Are Apple and Intel really going for broke against Microsoft?
- And my political obsession: People love to bash Howard Dean but how can you not love stuff like this: “My view is that Fox News is a propaganda outlet of the Republican Party and that I don't comment on Fox News.”
- “Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody else is spouting, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune.” --Noam Chomsky
- PledgeBank: Raise money for something you care about.
- ConnectviaBooks: Make friends with people who like the same books you like? Hmm.
- Chicago Crime: A freely browsable database of crimes reported in Chicago. What a cool use of Google maps.
- My thumb hurts.

"People love to bash Howard Dean but how can you not love stuff like this: “My view is that Fox News is a propaganda outlet of the Republican Party and that I don't comment on Fox News.”"
My favorite is the one about how republicans offer a vision of an america that is 'dark, difficult and dishonest.' That's the kind of dynamite we need.
