I previously griped about the quantity of unsolicited junk mail (physical and electronic) the University of Texas at Austin sends applicants, even when they aren’t enrolling. Well, it keeps coming. I just unsubscribed from the UT athletics e-mail list for the second time. I still get stuff from Austin-area apartment complexes.
Meanwhile, NYU and University of [...]

Well, I really must be a geek, because I’m enjoying this. I enjoyed the first set of readings (minus one opinion by a windbag of a justice, which could have been reduced from 9 pages to maybe 2-3 sentences). Lunch included a discussion on political theory, especially the 2004 and 2008 Presidential elections. In any [...]

Well, between hanging out with my new classmates, troubleshooting a very bad Internet connection, and trying to prepare for D11L (Day One, One-L year of law school), I have not delivered very well on my promise to blog more.

How NOT to Assemble Furniture from IKEA
Rule #1: Do not assume that the instructions for your furniture correspond to the furniture you bought. My desk came with assembly instructions for about 30 desks. Half a dozen of them are lumped into one section, which supposedly includes my desk. If you follow those directions, you can’t [...]

I apologize for the long break in posting. I had to pack up and move all my belongings to Chicago, so I could start law school. I haven’t unpacked fully, but I’ll be there within 24 hours.
Anyway, I plan to begin blogging much more regularly, now that the major hassle of moving is past. Upcoming [...]

I’ve been saying for years, now, that $4/gallon gasoline is an inevitability in the United States. Between the fragility of global oil production, the popularity of gas-guzzlers and the fondness of legislators of tacking on all sorts of gas taxes, it is bound to happen. Well, it looks like it’s happening a few months earlier [...]
