Just left neurologist. MRI confirms brain has not turned into block of cheese. Surviving law school well so far. 1.5 years to go. #
Hacked my AppleTV to make it behave like an Xbox Media Center — that has also been hacked. It's MC Escher hacking. #
My iPhone is Lal. My Macbook Pro is Artemis. My AppleTV is Luna. My old Powerbook was Galileo. Next device: Diana or Betty or Roger. #
Law school resumes for me in 48 hours. Here we go. #
At a Manly Sports Bar of Manfulness. They're playing Elton John. This pleases me greatly. #
Uncheck a file in an iTunes playlist, and it is automatically removed from your synced AppleTV. THIS IS LAME. #
Off to get textbooks. #
Dallas folk: tomorrow 98.7 FM is doing *every Elvis hit ever* in honor of his 75th birthday. Right now: Whitney Houston. Sigh. Elvis better. #
GET EQUIPPED:
BOX OF TEXTBOOKS.

Get your weapons ready!

… Feeling retro today. [Note: Text is taken from the Mega Man 2 "New Item Acquired" Screen.] #
Oh: that Elvis thing is Friday, not Thursday. Sorry. #
I love Fisher's _Evidence_ 2d Edition. Written with a very dry, sarcastic wit that's easy to miss if you aren't careful. Makes things fun. #
@jeffjarvis Hadn't heard of the bloggie before; looks really cool. What made you decide to get this over a Flip or something else? #

FTC: Bloggers must disclose paid reviews http://bit.ly/2KxU2 | lends credit to blog journalists, theoretically. Not read the regs yet. #
RT @jeffjarvis: FTC guidelines PDF here (took me awhile to find a working link): http://bit.ly/RbFnW | @jeffjarvis has scathing remarks. #
@ElizabethKnox For Time Machine, you'll want something at least twice the capacity of your HDD. Also, Firewire is preferable. Budget? in reply to ElizabethKnox #
By all that is Awesome: Adam West doing Batmanish Voiceovers for Lending Tree commercials: http://is.gd/43G2d. Great Scott! #
What's the new carrier settings file w/ #iPhone OS 3.1.2 do? I already had the MMS enabling update. #
MRI time. Must make sure brain is where I left it. #
Just left hospital. 3 hours for MRI. Food now, please. #

@ElizabethKnox Switching to Squarespace? in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@ElizabethKnox I'm waiting for Twitter integration before I contemplate a switch. in reply to ElizabethKnox #
Someone left this hairclip on the bathroom sink. Thought it was a spider. Too tired to panic. Though. http://yfrog.com/03y7rj #
RT @tabinstyle RIP Mr.Swayze RT @PhoenixArizona: PHX-AZ: Publicist: Actor Patrick Swayze Has Died http://bit.ly/23DhEb (via @mduncanvm) #
#iPhone Help Needed: I don't have any accessibility options under my General Settings on OS 3.1. What am I doing wrong? #
Wait. Is #iPhone OS 3.1' accessability stuff only for the 3GS? I have a 3G and can't see any of the options. #
@danielpunkass And everyone talks about how the web will become the OS. I really don't get why so many people think this is a great idea. in reply to danielpunkass #
My #Macbook Pro no longer puts itself to sleep when the battery gets low. It just shuts off. Is my battery dying? Help? #
@danielpunkass You make an interesting point, even if in jest. The fact that everyone's so eager for the web to be the OS is mind-boggling. in reply to danielpunkass #
Battery died and now claims only sixteen minutes to charge. Yeah. It's definitely busted. #
Is your bank ‘underwater’? Check its debt level here http://bit.ly/1QP3fU #
Saw Facebook singles ad w/ topless woman holding basketball over chest. Facebook ads == wannabe softcore porn. Why do we put up with this? #
That these ads are supposedly targeted is insulting. #Facebook must know business/pro users will never take them seriously w/ ads like this. #
@ElizabethKnox I fear those thumbs-down things. What if it's like trying to opt out of spam? "We've got a live one! Fire the missiles!" in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@ElizabethKnox I'll start doing it, then. Still, I maintain most of these ads aren't very classy at all. I think I'm having nerd rage. in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@Ihnatko How is that different from (at least a substantial percentage) of pro football? in reply to Ihnatko #
Staying up late to do Secured Transactions homework. #
Reading about farmee and farmor, which are just the assignee and assignor in a farmout agreement. Helpful terminology? Confusing? #
Just got done w/ Remicade infusion. Should be able to go another 8 weeks w/o turning into a pumpkin. #
Somewhere on the Internets, a giant mob of escaped Twitter avatars has gathered. There are many copies, and they have a plan. (via @wilw) #
Productivity. Already cleared Secured Transactions and some of Oil and Gas Contracts. Also got Remicade and laid siege to Kinko's. Svelte. #
Missed Kanye West outburst. For days, been seeing "Yo. Imma let you finish…" & wondering if someone dropped a language bomb on the 'nets. #
Everyone who thinks we can categorically say there isn't alien life just b/c we can't find it, see: http://is.gd/3qbeg. We're cosmic ants. #
@danfrakes I have an MX Revolution. Great mouse. I use the Mac's built in mouse controls and can control everything save the thumbwheel. in reply to danfrakes #
In Oil and Gas, "Support Agreements" are sometimes called "Letter Agreements," presumably b/c their function was otherwise too obvious. #
My #MacBook battery holds only 30% charge after 66 cycles. It's warranted to hold ~80% charge after 300 cycles. To the Apple Store. #
@choochoobear Is that a little or a lot for con tables? in reply to choochoobear #
On phone with Apple. Less than 2 minutes to get on the phone with a real live person. AppleCare is awesome. #
iStat Server thinks my iPhone's name is "Buffy's Phone." This is not at all the case. What's going on? #

@choochoobear Why Baloo? Wouldn't Kit be more fitting for that role? Baloo could still be his murdered dad. Where do Rebecca and Molly fit? in reply to choochoobear #
I'd like to auction off a domain name I'm no longer using. Any guides/advice to picking a service to do this? #lazytwitter #
@louarmstrng Thanks, but I'm not looking for hosting (already using Dreamhost). I've got an extra domain I'm not using I'd like to sell. in reply to louarmstrng #
@jsnell are you envisioning Pixar-style Marvel movies, too? in reply to jsnell #
Canadians bristle over U.S. health care rhetoric http://bit.ly/vLSE7 #
For blind Facebook iPhone users: Voiceover support is coming … 3.02 update out soon which supports accessibility. (via @joehewitt) #
@legalgeekery For one, bannings don't account for disabled students (like me) who could not work without one (or less optimal substitute). in reply to legalgeekery #
Got Snow Leopard today. Can't wait to install it once I know my critical apps all work. Nice box art, too. #
Not a fan of the legal doctrine of laches, if only because I've yet to break myself of typing "latches" every time I try to talk about it. #
Am stupid. Just realized the bad but flaccid "Trade Federation" in the Star Wars prequels was likely a dig at flagging Star Trek franchise. #
@choochoobear Well, they've got to repel demonic forces *somehow.* I personally would've also included mystic runes on the doorframe. in reply to choochoobear #
Off to IP Licensing. Excelsior! #
@joehewitt I may have to use Romote Disc for my MBP, as the DVD drive is borked. in reply to joehewitt #
@joehewitt are there instructions somewhere for using a USB image? in reply to joehewitt #
Quick survey, because I'm curious: How common is the word "vacay" to refer to vacation(s)? Just heard it in a commercial. #
Overwrote all my Secured Transactions notes by accident. Autobackup would've sealed my doom, but luckily it failed to run and I got em back. #
To clarify, if my backup system had worked right, I'd have been hosed. Suddenly understand why Time Machine is awesome and I should use it. #
And now my mouse appears to be failing. Oh. It's gonna be one of *those* days. #
Just now got my Secured Transactions notes back to where they were Monday (backup was a bit out of date). So much for starting early. #
Update: Mouse not non-functional as originally thought. Desk surface so dirty mouse can no longer track movement. That's encouraging. #
I can haz brownout? #
§ 547 (Preferences) of the Bankruptcy Code makes the computer scientist in me cry. Overly long statutes are like overly long functions. #
Bankruptcy Code § 548 is little better. Eek. #
It'd be really svelte if #Apple rolled the #iTunes Remote app into #iPhone's iPod app so I could control iTunes w/o changing apps. #
UCC Art. 9 & Bankruptcy Code more like water & oil in a drill rig than peanut butter & chocolate. You need both, but they dirty each other. #
@mduncanvm do you have some articles for this. Sounds awful. I use VMWare. in reply to mduncanvm #
Terrifying moment earlier while typing when my hand completely locked up. Had to flex it to get it moving again. Hope it was a just cramp. #
@legalgeekery What are you replacing your MBP with? in reply to legalgeekery #
@TRexing Did you get a new computer? in reply to TRexing #
RT @TUAW: Cartoon Creator – a great introduction to animation in an app http://bit.ly/KcSYj [post] #
Amazon has started recommending various brands of oatmeal & rice cakes to me in email. Insulted in various ways, even though I like oatmeal. #
SuperDuper! has stopped running automatic nightly backups. Wonder if it has anything to do w/ the exclusion list I set up. Not easy to do. #
Is there a #mac app for wiping the empty space on a harddrive? #lazytwitter #
I'm getting very frequent "secure connection failed" errors in #Tweetie for #iPhone by @atebits. Is anyone else seeing this? #
AppleInsider – AT&T agrees to first constantly connected third-party iPhone app http://bit.ly/1NmLHD (via @AppleMacGeek) #

@ElizabethKnox Can't you just shoot in color and give the client the option of which they prefer afterwards? in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@ElizabethKnox I think your best bet is to provide both. People are weird about photos. What you think looks better they might think worse. in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@ElizabethKnox I'm definitely a fan of B & W photography, myself. in reply to ElizabethKnox #
Late Friday night, and I'm elbow-deep in an opinion re: California's … odd … Parole Evidence Rule as applied to license agreements. Oy. #
Oh, that's gotta hurt. The court changes/clarifies the law in your favor, and then dismisses your claim w/ laches and abandonment estoppel. #
Couple Enjoy Fantasy Wedding in Front of Huge Gundam: http://is.gd/2U6Ue. Quote: "I swear my everlasting love to Gundam in front of Gundam." #
South Dakota Supreme Court Limits Interrogation of Travelers: http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/28/2883.asp #
"Plain Talk on the 'Plain View Doctrine" http://is.gd/2U7vW 9th Circuit requires gov't to waive reliance on PVD in digital evidence cases. #
Looks like I'm not the only one having DVD drive problems. Seems endemic to several kinds of Macs. Not svelte. http://is.gd/2Uacn #
About to spend some time playng with LyX. Might be useful for drafting license provisions. Word makes life frustrating. Send pie? #
Gone through the LyX introduction and tutorial. Awesome ready to try whipping up a beautifully typeset document. Great to have a geek day. #
Any legal writers out there using LaTeX to format your docs? What templates/classes/etc. are available? #
Cannot believe I just wasted the last four hours banging my head against a typesetting program before deciding it was overkill for my needs. #
@Fisher12 That's awesome. I'm a huge fan of stylish high-contrast UIs. Reminds me a bit of the Mac OS System 1.0 Control Panel. in reply to Fisher12 #
@fraserspeirs Don't you just have to run the one-click software update thingie from the Dashboard? in reply to fraserspeirs #
#lazytweet What's safe to use to clean an LCD besides water? #
Watching Band of Brothers. Damian Lewis (Lt Dick Winters) should be cast as Captain America. That is all. #
Just discovered that staplers exist that cost over $400. I need to go lie down for a while. #
SpikeTV is running the same five commercials over and over. NOT AWESOME. #
@Pogue If you put them all in one place, don't you risk creating some sort of reality-destroying singularity? in reply to Pogue #
@Pogue For HDTVs & displays generally: can we move beyond the need for color calibration? It's non-trivial & displays ship w/ horrid color. in reply to Pogue #

President Obama just said we're out of Iraq by 2011. …That's one way to distract the media from the Healthcare debate (such as it is). #
Giving #Carbonite online backup a try… #
RT @AnnCurry: Here's the link to NYT story that DNA evidence can be fabricated. http://tinyurl.com/pc276f #
Really liking #Carbonite online backup so far. Only major negative: encryption doesn't support user-managed private keys on #Mac. #

I'm contemplating learning LaTeX just so I can create templates for legal memos and briefs and have them look awesome. Need a hobby. #
@choochoobear But it's gorgeous, though. The shadows, clean lines, and shading are marvelous. Time well spent. in reply to choochoobear #
@eboehnisch Is it doable to run the DevonThink Pro Office server as a standalone application? #
Win a new Canon 5DMKII (or $2500 Gift Cert) from @OPGear & Scott Bourne. Pls RT. Details here: http://bit.ly/BqU8N #
Confirmed my DVD Drive in my #Macbook is dead. It's still covered by #Apple Care. Do I have to send it off, or will they fix in store? #
@eboehnisch I figured. I use DTOP and love it, but I don't think it'd run well on a PB G4 867MHz/1.12 GB. Thought about using PB as server. in reply to eboehnisch #
@leolaporte Personally, I'm concerned about the remaining 0.3%, though am comforted by the fact it's probably in the margin of error. in reply to leolaporte #
Day two of mortal combat with my Samsung 2243BWT monitor ends in stalemate. I'll get good color out of this thing if I have to bribe an elf. #
@leolaporte Looks delicious, and like you're having a blast. What sort of fish is that? #
It's 2009. We can smash atoms. Why is making a monitor's color/brightness/etc. look right (purple is NOT magenta) still secret voodoo magic? #
Just got someone with trustworthy eyes to run the MagicTune color calibration software on my #Samsung 2243BWT. Looking great now. #
On larger LCD monitor, I notice lower 1/3 is significantly (but slightly) brighter than upper 2/3. Same, lesser effect on my laptop. Why? #
@mduncanvm The brightness difference surprised me. Before I noticed it on MBP, thought I got a bad unit. Guess I can't do anything about it. in reply to mduncanvm #
@mduncanvm I wonder if uneven brightness is a problem on OLEDs. LCDs are like consumer digicams. Even at high/mid range flawed by design. in reply to mduncanvm #
@mduncanvm Something to look forward to. Now, if they could do something about the requisite and maddening process of calibrating displays. in reply to mduncanvm #
First day of class tomorrow. I'm out for the evening. #
Saw this on the App Store: http://is.gd/2vGKE. "Ricky," a Mario Bros. clone. Uses a Mario Mushroom for its logo. Surprised it was approved. #

Wading through a truly horrible technical support automated phone system. If I'm not back in two hours, avenge my death. #
Wow. I broke though the automated system wall to speak to a real person. I feel like I've invoked some sort of dark, soul-rending magics. #
It's rapidly devolved into an "I wish I had three monitors because two isn't enough to do all this efficiently" night. #

@jsnell what are the earmolds for? in reply to jsnell #
Battery on my #Macbook appears to be failing. It just turned itself off with a full hour of battery left. Refused to power up sans plug. #
Exhausted. Just set SuperDuper! to make initial backup of my #Mac. Going to bed. Much to do tomorrow. #
Realized today how nice voice dialing would be on my #iPhone. Darned 3GS only features. #
RT @legalgeekery: RT @snookerst: Pay cuts coming to the Univ of CA law schools. EVERYONE is getting hit! http://bit.ly/7Dj8m #
My disc burner is making a horrible clicking noise and acting flaky, as I try to burn a hardware check disc. Faboo. #
Trying to run the hardware check disc. It's been loading for almost an hour. Have I mentioned I think the disc drive is dying? #

August 2, 2009

Allergic reaction to lunch. Breathing faintly impacted. Won't be eating that again. #
Cable news sucks horribly during the weekend. Prison documentaries, Nancy Grace hawking books, and faux-important, epic celeb news. #

A brief note:

I have grown weary of inflating my post count with a bunch of daily Twitter archives. While I certainly want to archive (most) of my tweets to this space, I don’t want the vast majority of my posts to be regurgitated tweets. For one thing, my real updates, infrequent as they are, get lost in the flow. Also, part of me wonders if doing daily tweet posts for the last few months has led to my increasing spam comment problem. Not that I have any evidence on that point either way. Just a thought. To that end, I have switched to weekly Tweet digests. Since I’d already posted daily tweets up through August first, I removed those tweets from this week’s cumulative post.
