We'll Be Having Blogs With That
So say more and more members of the legal field. In fact, we're looking at dense blawg warnings in all regions (and the first to call this a dense blawg gets it). Tough to keep up, but here's my latest feeble attempt at chronicling the blooms:
I can't believe Ernie, Rick, the Law/Net Marketing Blog and I haven't jumped on this earlier: Goldstein & Howe's SCOTUSblog, the self-proclaimed blogchild of Howard Bashman. Tom, Stephanie, Amy and Erik deliver comprehensive Supreme Court coverage, their first names and their own voices. Color me impressed and happy to see them. [via JURIST and Howard]
Lane McFadden, law clerk to Judge Kleinfeld, blogs from Alaska. [via Howard]
The boy named Soo, a San Diegan, formerly was with this firm, and now ? [via Howard]
Kim Weatherall is an intellectual property/information technology/Internet law lecturer with the University of Sydney. (More here.) [via JURIST]
Christine is a law student at Notre Dame and her blog was IBGR (Inspired By Glenn Reynolds). [via JURIST]
Manhattan 1L Superhyperdemonchild: Code at the speed of light she does not. But code she does; lovely site. [via the Blawg Ring]
Elizabeth ("Janeway Speaks") is a Star Trek fan (naah, I'm not getting sucked into that whole "Trekker"/"Trekkie" imbroglio), and 1L. [via the Blawg Ring]
Nathan Newman is an author, lawyer and progressive. More here and here. [via the Blawg Ring]
Inns Of Court is by an Australian law grad seeking gainful employment. [via the Blawg Ring]
ZaftigGirl is a 1L at McGeorge with a way with words: "call me the abominable snowchick. and then make me melt." [via the Blawg Ring]
Cyberspaces.org has a group weblog on law and technology issues. [via the Blawg Ring]
Echos from the Void (aka Leareth) is written by an Australian Law/Arts student who wonders "if the day will ever come when judges can use more commas and full-stops." [via the Blawg Ring]
I'm guessing the mind behind LegalMind.org is in-house counsel. Somewhere. Emphasis on Internet and securities law. [via the Blawg Ring]
Who'm I missing, hmm?

Flume
Please note that a PayPal donation setup for Stavros The Wonder Chicken's friend Rick Gleason, injured in Bali, appears to be in the works; more in Shelley's comments.

Bloom
No time at the moment for appropriate reviews and updates, just enough to marvel that JCA's Blawg Ring now boasts 46 entries.
"A condition or time of vigor, freshness, and beauty; prime."
"A visible, colored area on the surface of bodies of water caused by excessive planktonic growth."

Wiser WiFi
From what I can tell, AT&T began providing its GoPort WiFi service in the Denver Airport just in time for me to spend some unexpected time there last Friday. [Via Reiter's Wireless Data Weblog] That's good, but here's a pop quiz on what would be better:
(a) an option to pay for less than 24 hours of service at a time (GoPort in Denver now costs a $9.99 flat fee).
(b) an option to include GoPort service in your AT&T Wireless Services/mlife subscription. Two agents gave me a "huh?" when I asked if such a thing was possible; one cited antitrust issues. (This article discusses how 3G cellular providers might blend the two, but also how WiFi potentially threatens rapid adoption of 3G services.)
(c) an option to pre-pay and replenish, as T-Mobile provides. (In case you didn't know it, your local Starbucks is likely to be flooded with WiFi; add an automatically refilling caffeine card, and you may never leave...)
(d) Leo Laporte's dream.
(e) all of the above.

"...Another significant step in the fall of Western civilization."
That I could even hope to make such a contribution warms my heart. ;-> Metafilter looks at the ABA's adoption of the lingo, and at the spread of law blogs as communication and KM tools.

On Keeping Back The Night
Doc commented Friday morning that something needs to catch fire to propel digital identity forward. Too true. In the meantime we wait for the flickers to ignite, as flights are missed, luggage is lost, gates occupied, cars misdirected and precious few remaining ounces of gasoline consumed...each of which dripped irony all over my trip back from Digital ID World. Having eventually survived the transportation jungle, I'm home and glad of a great many things. To list a few:
-- that Larry Lessig took the time to explain how you can't glean much from the questioning at appellate oral argument, especially at this level, and to provide insights into his strategy and what appears to have been accomplished.
-- that Howard Bashman's feeling great.
-- that Ernie Svenson and other friends and favorites got a well deserved, complimentary write up from the ABA on Friday. [Via Dave Winer]
-- that (I'm told) I have the only copy of Cluetrain signed by Locke, Searls and Weinberger, and, far from hoping to find it on eBay, you can start submitting bids on who gets to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
