Columbus Day Weekend
It’s been a wet Saturday in the city. Some stuff of note below; pardon the long posting, as it has been a few days since I’ve blogged… Quake in Pakistan. This may turn into quite a concern. While the news wasn’t unexpected, it’s still weird to really admit: Ted Koppel’s stepping down from “Nightline,” with [...]

All of the Above
Opening Arguments, Endlessly (NY Times) A survey conducted by Blogads.com, which administers online advertising on blog sites, and completed voluntarily by 30,000 blog visitors last spring, found that 5.1 percent of the people reading the blogs were lawyers or judges, putting that group fourth behind computer professionals, students and retirees. The survey also found that [...]

Apocalypse of the Internet
Network feud leads to Net blackout: On Wednesday, network company Level 3 Communications cut off its direct “peering” connections to another big network company called Cogent Communications. That technical action means that some customers on each company’s network now will find it impossible, or slower, to get to Web sites on the other company’s network. [...]

Tuesday stuff
The coverage on Harriet Miers, White House General Counsel-Supreme Court nominee, has been interesting stuff. I like the Slate coverage – amusing stuff. MSNBC ain’t so bad either.

Despedida, Continuing, and Once Again
Went to a surprise farewell party in Chinatown. She’s moving to Washington, D.C. this weekend. If anyone knows anything about eating out in New York, Monday has to be the slowest day at any restaurant. This was true at the place that we went to, Harmony Palace. If it weren’t for us, they would have [...]

First Monday
As I’m writing this in the wee hours of Monday, I shall say that this will be an interesting First Monday at the US Supreme Court, as it is the first day of the Ch. J. Roberts Era. A little rundown – Saw “Serenity” on Saturday. Interesting movie, picking up where the cancelled FOX show [...]
