Prepare for the Unexpected – If You Die…
Have you ever thought about what happens to your stuff when you die? Perhaps you have a will. Maybe you have a full fledged estate plan with trusts and the whole nine yards.
But does your family have a way to access your online life?
The digital age we live in means that people have more and more info stored in 1s and 0s all around the world. Think about: you may have email accounts, online calendars, blogs, PayPal accounts, and online savings accounts. If you die, can your family quickly and easily access information they need? …

I’m It!! – Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me
I was feeling left out. Nobody had tagged me for the “5 things you didn’t know about me” meme. I was feeling like the kid who never got picked for kick ball.
But that’s changed now. Teli Adlam tagged me this afternoon.
Five things you didn’t know about me:
1. I’m a musician. I play the sax (alto and baritone) and drums. I was even drum major in high school. Yep, I’m a computer geek and band nerd.
2. I love sci-fi. I’m a huge Stargate fan. I like reading old sci-fi …

People hate lawyers
Yep, most people hate lawyers. I’ll be one (a lawyer, not a person) in a few months. I can admit that people hate the profession I’m entering.
The reasons for not liking lawyers are probably endless. As are the lawyer jokes. Thus, I’m not going to …
I’m a B.A.D. Blogger!
And now you’re scratching your head. Why should I be proud of that?
Recently I had the pleasure of speaking (via Skype) with none other than Liz Strauss. She’s calling a Blogger A Day (get it? – B.A.D.), just to talk. She’s meeting new people, gaining new insights on life, and blogging about it.
When I saw this I thought, why not? I emailed Liz and said I’d love to join in. She put me on her calendar, and off we went!
You can …
Leaving the Perfect Voicemail Message for Lawyers
Tom Kane has a great post about leaving voicemail messages. The post covers some interesting things about voicemail, like tone and emotion. Honestly, I have never given those much thought when confronted with the beep. But that’s a good idea.
For productivity’s sake, I want to add a couple things to Tom’s post.
First, leave your name and number immediately at the beginning of the message. “Hello, this is John Doe at 222-333-4444.” Then repeat your name and number at the end of the …
Anonymous Blogging – Good or Bad?
People have many different viewpoints about revealing your identity on your blog. Some suggest being anonymous. Others argue that you should openly be yourself. I’m trying to figure out what you think.
My reasons
Simply put, here are some of the reasons I have my name (and even picture!) on this blog:
It makes the blog more personal
It promotes transparency
The real name and picture make me real to readers
It enhances reader trust in me
I can control Google search results for my name
My online image is …

Westlaw Preference Overrides “Link Viewer”
Do you have the impression that Westlaw is just “the man” or a big, faceless organization? Honestly, I did too. Until today.
I opened Gmail to find an email from a Westlaw employee. Actually, it’s from the VP for New Product Development. He read my blog. In particular, he saw my Greasemonkey scripts for Westlaw (kill the mini-window and rename windows).
Now, instead of using the mini-window Greasemonkey script, Westlaw actually provides a preference where you can officially disable the “link viewer.” …
Full Disclosure Coming At You
Sponsored Post
As you might have read a while back, I am now participating in two “sponsored posts” programs (PayPerPost and ReviewMe). If you’re a regular reader, you will remember my initial post on ReviewMe. You will also see that I haven’t flooded your feed aggregator with spam posts, just to earn a few cents.
This post constitutes my first one for PayPerPost. I thought it fitting that this post be about full disclosure, which I personally guarantee to you. I just …
