e-Discovery LOL: "Pardon Me, Do You have any Pay #Groupon?"

v-Discovery Insights: #Facebook - An Arm of the #CIA

Well, this is my wrap-up post for 2011.  I'm about halfway through writing my assessment of CalBar's Proposed Formal Opinion Interim No. 10-0003 (Virtual Law Office) and should have it up by early next week.

And no, I'm not finished with my sections of the Calbar book, yet...

I see all of the year-end predictions and top-ten lists out there, but I'm closing out 2011 with this video from The Onion News Network.  I'm laughing, but not too much...

 

Happy New Year!

e-Discovery LOL: #ABA #Blawg100 Honors the Fallen

First of all, congratulations to all who made the ABA 2011 Blawg 100.  I was toiling away this afternoon when I happened to read their follow-up article, "We Honor the Fallen: Past Blawg 100 Entries Which Have Departed".

I'm pretty sure it was inappropriate of me to laugh out loud (especially since I've experienced many a day where I simply don't feel like writing), but hey, I did and I thank the ABA Journal for lightening my Friday load just a little bit...

Have a good weekend, everyone.  I'll be in Century City Monday, attending the Executive Counsel "Exchange".

e-Discovery LOL: Where Should You Post Your Status?

e-Discovery LOL: I Violated the 8th Amendment!

How did I do that?  By subjecting you to Charles Barkley's mug for ten days straight.  Sorry folks, but some weeks I simply don't have time to sit down and write anything substantive; for those periods, I use Twitter.

So, I owe you something better to look at over the weekend.  The good news is, next week's schedule looks a little bit better.  Have a great weekend.

e-Discovery LOL: A Primer on Privacy

What can I say...it's Friday afternoon and I'm in the mood for a laugh!  Disclaimer: I'm not endorsing the products shown in this video, but if you strip out the advertising and substitute the word e-Mail for Gmail, it does make a (humorous) point about how our privacy is invaded in ways we don't realize; and sometimes, with our willing participation!

 

e-Discovery LOL: Perry's New Book: "F'ed Up!"

What?  There's no apostrophe?  Oh...

I don't know why that title popped into my head while I was watching last night's Republican debate, but it did.  Actually, it gives me the opportunity to let you know that I'll be collaborating with some of my colleagues to write a book for the State Bar of California that is expected to be published next June.  I'm a bit shy on details at the moment, but I'll let you know as soon as I know.  I've bitten off a fairly large chunk of the project, so it looks like I'll be busy writing soon.

e-Discovery LOL: I Went to a Car-den Party

Lest I ever forget I live in Los Angeles - where everything's overblown - I was recently reminded.  Only in L.A. does a drizzle become a storm and a weekend freeway closure for a bridge demolition become Carmageddon (insert foreboding music here).

 
These kids made a mockery of all the drama and had some fun along the way.  Classic antidote!

e-Discovery LOL: Juror Excused Due to Death - HIS!

This method guarantees dismissal from jury duty, however, it's somewhat drastic.
