The Good Old Days? I Don’t Think So

What was it about the old days to call them good? From what I’ve read in the history books people had it pretty rough back then.  The Inquisition, scarlet fever, slavery, the Holocaust, life expectancy was a lot shorter, people could smoke cigarettes on planes, and worst of all, rotary phones.


Hello, I’m the robot repair person

The algorithms have got your phone number.  Get over it and get used to it. You’re a loser baby. 


Dean Landsman | On Hillary

This email arrived from Hillary Clinton the other day, a note from her promoting Onward Together, personally addressed to me. Why me? Because I’m on the Hillary e-mail distribution list, as a supporter, a Hillary voter.


Good Law and Good Fishing

From Nebraska: The water is still, like glass, when the sun crests the horizon. Silence, except for a few loons crooning in the distance and the unmistakable sound of a fish jumping. There’s nothing quite like that moment of the day for a fisherperson.

Digital Strategy and the Law

When it comes to digital matters and the law, it can be a murky arena.  The Internet and the World Wide Web are relatively new social and societal entities, and are thus still emerging and evolving as they relate to legal matters and legislation.  And these matters cover a broad swath of issues.
