I’m sitting in tomorrow on Rich Leiter’s Webinar/Podcast, where we’ll talk with Lawyer, Writer, Law Professor, and all a round deep-thinker, Richard Dooling.
Doolings’s latest book, Rapture of the Geeks: When AI Outsmarts IQ, discusses (and makes fun of) a number of scientists, technologists, and lawyers and he seems to be either

Someone pointed out to me today that October 1, 2010 is 10/01/10 (for us Americans, anyway) and they were surprised that Google hadn’t done something wacky with their logo today.

Perhaps one of the scariest “crowd sourcing” websites I’ve seen lately is the “Rate My Professor” site that allows anyone to register (for free) and comment on and rate their college professors. I’ve gone in and looked at some of my old college professors and others that I know from other law schools and the
