The COICA is on the fast track to passage. If passed, this law would allow the government to create a blacklist of sites, which ISPs would be bound by law to block. This sounds like the system they currently have in China-the government decides what you are and are not allowed to look at.

I had my first criminal case earlier this week. It was interesting. My client got ACDed (basically, he has to stay out of trouble for a year).

Carl Paladino, a candidate backed by the Tea Party, won the GOP primary to be the party's candidate for NY Governor. He defeated Rick Lazio, who was backed by the GOP establishment. CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?

So, it's Labor Day, and I just realized something.
I am never going back to school again.
I graduated from law school last year, but I guess I was just too caught up in studying for/taking/recovering from the bar exam to realize this. I have entered the grownup world. I will not do any back to school shopping (at least not to myself). When I board the train tomorrow, I will be among kids going back to school. I will be going to work. I will go to work until I retire. Childhood has, by any reasonable definition, ended.

Had a good meeting with an attorney yesterday who prefers being in his office to being in court doing conferences. Hopefully, I'll get a fair amount of business from him.
