So much for savin’ it for your mama! So apparently people read this thing. And by “people” I mean “law school people.” Who knew!

This may be a little twisted, but there’s a little part of me that is relaly, really amused by the sounds that accompany a law school class. For example, if a professor says anything about an exam, you can guarantee that for the next 30-60 seconds you will hear nothing but furious typing on laptop keyboards. Similarly, [...]

I’ve tried to post this with the video embedded several times, but it keeps blowing up firefox, so you just get a link. You can right-click and Save As… if you want. Rammer Jammer from the UT Game Update: I uploaded this to YouTube. You can see it here if the player doesn’t work. If you listen carefully you [...]

Well, we turned in our second writing assignment (the first graded one) before break and my section got them back today. Quoth the prof: A couple of things about the grades: I was generally thrilled with the papers. Almost all of you “got it” in terms of the structural use of the paradigm. Good job!! Scores [...]
