Triscribe

It’s May 1st!  And, it has been a cool spring. The flowers look nice though. May 1 isn’t just May Day, it’s also Law Day (umm, something to do with Eisenhower and the ABA’s way to tackle the Cold War and how the USA wasn’t like other places, if I remember correctly? Never quite sure!). [...]

I recently finished reading The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin.  In the grand tradition of Bob Woodward’s The Brethren, Toobin’s book is quite read, even though it took me awhile to finish it (I’ve been reading other things in between, and my commuting has made reading not so [...]

Happy Easter 2013! A catching up with things kind of post. It’s that time of year when everybody plays with Peeps (umm, you are supposed to eat them, people!). For the voting for the ABA Journal and the annual Peeps diorama contest voting, see here. Washington Post had its Peeps contest.  The Atlantic has all [...]

“Talkin’ ’bout the red, white, and bluuuuetooth…” – this President’s Day Honda commercial is ridiculously funny, if only because I had no idea that George Washington had such a nice singing voice. Of course, this only makes me miss Christopher Columbus, Action Figure, all the more. (see the previous post on Christopher Columbus, Action Figure). [...]

Stuff to catch up. Because we here at triscribe are APA’s and lawyers, I note the following: This tidbit of news is so awesome, considering that I’m behind on the news: Brooklyn Law School’s 1st US S.Ct law clerk!  Congrats to Sparkle Sooknanan, BLS’10, who’s going to clerk for J. Sotomayor! (who really is awesome [...]

Happy Lunar New Year! Good luck and best wishes in the Year of the Snake! Gung Hei Fat Choi! (apologies for the bad spelling transliteration) An interesting item from NPR about how much money should the givers of red pockets give.  I always figured that this was about how traditional one would be about the [...]

So… some quick blogging. The Super Bowl – wherein Baltimore Ravens beat San Francisco 49′ers, at the Superdome in New Orleans – the first post-Hurricane Katrina Super Bowl there. The weird power surge and leading to the late end of the Super Bowl. The not that interesting commercials. The delay of “Elementary,” which somehow got [...]

Because this is triscribe and we are New Yorkers: The passing of Mayor Ed Koch. See here for the NY Times obituary. The news was a sad one to hear on 1010 WINS first thing in the morning, and the realization that the quintessential New Yorker – even if you disagreed with him – is [...]

On Friday, 1/18/13, the series finale of “Fringe” – well, the airing of the last two episodes – definitely wrapped up the series.  But, the more I think about it, the more emotional I feel about the show – over both how much it left behind and its imperfections versus how much it did achieve [...]

Happy New Year!  It’s 2013! As a follow up of the Reading/Literary Highlights of 2011, here are some analyses of my personal reading of 2012. I have Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials Mystery, a Christmas/birthday gift, actually, to be finished this week, but as I didn’t get to finish it in 2012, it shall have to be [...]
