My hosting provider was the target of a DDoS attack this morning, so that’s the reason for the bit of down time some of you may have experienced here or on a few other sites this morning. The contracts final is over. I feel alright about it. Seems like there weren’t enough issues to make up [...]

So the property final is over. That was sort of fun. Like a race… except where right answers matter… and where finishing first doesn’t matter. So it I guess it wasn’t like a race at all. Anyway, I was distressed a few days ago because I felt like I was out of things to write [...]

At the risk of being accused of “sandbagging” (a crime which ranks among the most heinous a law student can commit) I’m going to tell you a secret: I arrived at the law library not ten minutes ago, and I am preparing to begin studying for tomorrow’s final. I am saying this neither to lull [...]

Apparently the Memphis police are backing off their labelling of Logan Young’s murder — they’re now not sure whether it was a homicide or an accident. …although one has to wonder what sort of ‘accident’ would inspire the adjective “blood-soaked” or lead investigators to note that “the entire house is a crime scene”. Hell… it took [...]

‘Bama booster Logan Young was found dead at his home today, police describe the scene as brutal and bloody. While I certainly don’t appreciate the spot he put the Tide in, he didn’t deserve this sort of end. I, obviously, have not seen the crime scene… but I’ve watched enough Law & Order: Criminal Intent to [...]
