There are some tres, tres cool apps out there. It’s not like I discovered them, but I found ‘em, so I’m passing them on. The first is KloudShare, an up and coming “platform as a service” provider. PaaS is a value-added service which allows you to contract out platform development functions. Who wants to work [...]
Google has a fantastic (dare I suggest Tufte-inspired) way of presenting geographic data. Ok, so it’snot all that new, –but it just showing up in my searches, so it’s new to me. I love it! The implications of Google’s multiple representations of data along a time line suggest gorgeous ways of presenting legal data. Learn [...]
What a great quote! Tadhg Ó Raghallaigh is on NPR’s Science Friday right now…no, I’m not twittering about it!…and he came out with the phrase (“Ambient Temperature Around a Problem”), as a way of describing how an agency such as the EPA can use social networking tools to gather intel to help them sort out [...]
Today, “The Mighty Snarker” ( as I have recently been dubbed )..:o))…went back to the Michigan Bar website and with an abundance of curiosity started clicking around to see what was new. What I found was a section on “Practice Management Resource Center.” Again, with an amount of curiosity that directly contradicts my list of [...]
Occasionally, I stick my head up and actually read the articles that discuss the role of technology in the litigation process. Having thought about this stuff on the small scale for a LONG time, it’s always kinda fun to see people state the BLEEDING OBVIOUS…so very cogently and thoughtfully. I am SO no one to [...]

Found this quote from this thoughtful blog entry by a guy named Kashori in 2005, in response to a query about how to redesign my databases so that they can evolve and communicate with other applications: The comparison of semantic web and database technologies [...]
Here’s something that promises to be worth sticking to the bedpost tonight: Proceedings of the Workshop on Semantic Web technology for Law, the proceedings papers/abstracts from the International Conference on AI and LAW. Wish I’d known Stanford was such a happenin’ place! Topics included: web-enabling existing legal thesauri and ontologies intelligent parsing of legal material, [...]
Just a quick note. I’m on a roll to try to find new ways of creating useful information. I just found one which is, I think, truly on the way to “massive.” It’s so simple as to make one feel really stupid: [link: hobidas.com|via ohgizmo.com & boingboing.net] I found it on information aesthetics and will [...]
Check out the recent ABA Ethics Newsletter. There is a highly informative article about the responsibilities of lawyers when it comes to “unsolicited” information received from potential clients. On the web, lawyers are sent information everyday that could lead to a conflict of interest. The most common case would be the one in which both [...]
Ok, took a wee vacation …:o))…but I’m baaack! I found a few posts on Web 3.0 to help us along in understanding Law 3.0. No need to argue, let’s just get right to it. From the article (well, ok, it IS the article) from the Buzzworthy blog: Defining Web 3.0 Good grief! We’re already trying [...]
