Apple finally introduced a player at a spec and price-point that I can fully support: the iPod Nano — it’s a flash-based player that is very small and holds 2GB or 4GB of music. The 4GB runs $250 ($200 for the 2GB). I paid $150 for my 512MB iRiver — which plays OGG, but I’ve found [...]

I had not been expecting the massive influx of reading that our torts Prof dropped on us on Monday. That combined with the writing assignment due tuesday means that I just haven’t had the time necessary to compile the My Weekend, Your Words post. I’ll use the same words for this coming weekend.

Let me just say that yesterday I did very little (almost no) studying and it was great. Shortly after class let out I headed to a reception for grad students with Sunni where we ran into quite a few other law school students. Did some walking around campus and then got a bite to eat [...]

First off, a note: As a Sprint customer I cannot receive cell phone calls. This is, as best I can tell, a direct result of Katrina. If you need to get ahold of me, IM or Email are the best options. UPDATE: It seems like my phone is working again — I can get to voicemail. Feel [...]
