So Much for Elegant Themes (For Now)

If you’ve visited this site lately, I apologize. It was a mess of broken code, dead images, and a partially-functioning theme. Between the server migration and the intricacies of using a theme from Elegant Themes (good looking themes, lots of setup required), I just ran short of time. Hopefully, this theme will do for now. [...]

Pardon the dust..

As part of my server migration, I’ve unfortunately lost a few files and images. My hope is to have the site fully restored by the end of the week.

Testing Out Offline Blog Editors

For much of my illustrious blogging career, I have been a faithful user of BlogDesk. Why? There really is no good reason. It looks like crap. It has no remote image hosting features. It inserts < div > tags all over the place, which Picassos our blogging platforms at FindLaw. In short, it sucks. On [...]

2012 Election: Prop 34, 35, 36. (Pros, Cons, Recommendations)

California voters, Though your vote in the Presidential race is absolutely meaningless, there are many important propositions on tomorrow’s ballot. I’m going to be doing a bit of a cram session on most of them tonight, but when it comes to 34, 35, and 36, you have the chance to impact the state’s law on [...]

State Senator Leland Yee’s Uninformed Gun Law (SB 249)

Have you ever wondered where inspiration for new laws come from? Often times, the source is some cataclysmic event, such as the recent shooting sprees. Other times, the inspiration comes from something else, such as a fear-mongering news report. That’s right. Senator Yee’s proposed SB 249 came to him after watching a CBS San Francisco [...]

The Virgin Mobile iPhone is Asinine

I’m a notoriously cheap bastard. It’s a byproduct of growing up broke, going to college broke, and going to law school … wait for it … broke. Now I’m working, and I’m still broke. Even still, I’m a geek. It’s evident from this blog, 2fat2furious, the nine blogs I manage at work, my two twitter [...]

As if I didn’t blog enough at work

Let’s be honest. No one is reading this. That’s a thought I’m strangely comfortable with. I blog so much at work, that this site has become fairly neglected. It’s about to get worse. As part of a co-venture with a few friends, I’m proud to announce the pre-launch of 2 Fat 2 Furious. Yes, the [...]

The True Cost of Starting Solo (as cheaply as possible…)

Due to the times and state of the profession, many recent graduates and experienced but unemployed lawyers are hanging up a shingle and starting their own shop. For those who are unemployed and without personal connections, the options currently are to take a massively underpaid job from a firm looking to capitalize on the desperation [...]

A Proposal for the Optimal Law Firm

Author’s note: This was written a couple years ago as a quick assignment for a law school class. Some of the resources, references, etc. might be out of date. I’m considering expanding this to a full white paper. Please feel free to leave comments with criticism, ideas, or any thoughts you may have. Online Law [...]

Minimalism, at least for now.

Due to a coding error with my previous theme, I’m switching to this minimalistic theme until the coding has been debugged. Please pardon any broken links or funny looking posts, as not all content has been double checked under this new format.
