Travel notes from today:

I got picked up by the airport shuttle this morning.  I don’t know if I was more impressed or scared by the driver handling 2 cell phones at the same time as driving and manipulating the GPS.
I had a really solid breakfast this morning at the B Gate concourse at Dulles, at […]

I was trying to describe the feeling of having passed the bar to many people recently.  I have do retain the perspective that I am at the beginning of my legal career still.  In the end, I settled on this imagery.  I feel like I have climbed and summited a great mountain, and now that […]

So we’ll bust out some Friday bullet points!

IT’S A GUNDAM… WEDDING!
I’m heading up to NYC tomorrow for the first time, for the birthday party of twins. Taking a Chinatown bus, albeit a reliable one (Bolt Bus, with wifi even) where I likely won’t risk losing my seat to people crowding on.
lemonjello arrives tonight such that […]

The Black Keys - I’ll Be Your Man
Autolux - Turnstile Blues
Alicia Keys - Jane Doe
Chin Up Chin Up - Collide the Tide

A “Friday Five” on a Friday, how rare is this?

The bane of being an engineer in law school: fixing your friends computers when they get ravaged by the Internet. (If anyone has non-reformat advice for how to get rid of a Trojan that neither Adaware or Spybot can seem to extract, I’d love to […]

Well, first of all I’m reading about China where:

an environmentalist who was correct and praised nationally is jailed by local officials
children are being abused in unlicensed boot camps
human rights is secondary to political brinkmanship when Tibet is involved
lawyers who are active in civil rights get beaten up despite State “protection” &
local officials control the courts […]

If I could put links in on the side bar, I would put these:
* Our President knows how to speak the language of Web 2.0, and how to pluralize internet: “Information is moving … through the blogosphere, and through the Internets.”
*speaking of internets, stuffs not to do when blogging, or else changston’s future employers […]

pingpong has always been right in that people tend to panic for no good reason regarding packing. There is rarely ever reason to commit an entire night to packing in lieu of fun activities. Besides, I needed to do laundry today so that I’d have something clean to pack.

Last night I went with roommate and […]

I think I want to go for a judicial clerkship following law school. A federal court, ideally the 9th or Federal Circuit. (yeah, that is a bit of a lofty and semi-pretentious goal)
The cover of David Bowie’s “Starman” by Seu Jorge on The Life Aquatic soundtrack is rather excellent.
Brandon Lloyd, former Niner and current Redskin, […]

This news site has an odd name in English, “EastSouthWestNorth”. Trust me, “Dong Nan Xi Bei” sounds a lot better in Mandarin. It also makes a lot more sense, as it roughly means “in all directions”, which is an appropriate tagline for a news organ. In any case, I’ve been to Zhengzhou, Henan and it […]
