Monday, February 8, 2010

We love underdogs, and N.E. Patriots fans love just about any team that beats the Colts, so the Saints Super Bowl victory is sweet.  After many years of boring blowouts most recent Super Bowls have been just fun to watch.  The Colts looked unstoppable early but three plays and a spirited final defensive stand sent [...]

A few days after Mark Zuckerberg apologized for how Facebook handled the rollout of its Beacon and Social Ads programs–”We’ve made a lot of mistakes building this feature, but we’ve made even more with how we’ve handled them.

Not Covered By LSAT Prep

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

My stack of to-be-written law school recommendations makes this Wall Street Journal headline especially timely: Hard Case: Job Market Wanes for U.S. Lawyers (Amir Efrati, The Wall Street Journal, 24-Sep-07 Page A1 Subscription Required). The story in a nutshell:
