As many of us come off the high of hanging out and talking AI at ILTA, there seems to be a push this week in the articles for AI tools to “show me what you’ve done for me lately?” This makes sense that once you get back to the office and need to show existing
What. Just. Happened? (Pre-Three-Day Weekend Edition. Week of 08-26-2024)
Many of us in the United States are hitting the road/airport this weekend to get in the last bit of Summer. For Texans like me, we’ll still have some hot weather for the next few weeks, but eventually it will cool down and remind us that Mid-September through Mid-May is really why we put up…
What. Just. Happened? (Post-ILTACon Emails Week of 08-19-2024)
Perhaps one of the things that we don’t think about when we are at conferences like ILTACon, is the amount of emails we get post-conference. Most of mine this week start with “sorry we didn’t connect at ILTACon, but here’s your opportunity to talk with me about the product you ignored and are probably regretting…
What. Just. Happened. (ILTACON Edition week of 2024-08-12)
Getting home last night (actually early this morning) from #ILTACON24, I had a chance to finally catch my breath. I flew into Nashville early on Monday to catch the keynote, Hannah Fry explain that the single most human word that differentiates us from the machines is “POOP.” This made the 13-year-old boy in me very…
What. Just. Happened. (Week of August 2, 2024)
If you’re like me, your in-box (and SPAM filter) were packed with ILTA messages to come visit vendors at booth #XXX. It is amazing how many vendors and legal tech folks who are going to be there and vying for your attention next week. I have to say that my calendar is packed, and that’s…
What. Just. Happened. (Week of July 29, 2024)
This was one of those weeks where I had to decide whether to scroll through a few hundred/thousand emails, or just declare email bankruptcy after spending the previous week in Chicago at the AALL Conference. I won’t say exactly what I did… but, I will say it was the faster of the two decisions. ILTACon…
What. Just. Happened? (Week of July 22, 2024)
I just flew back from Chicago… and boy are my arms tired. 😉
Besides getting to wear my flashy new white suit for the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) Gallagher Awards ceremony, I also caught up with lots of colleagues, old and new. AALL is one of those sneaky tech conferences that dresses up…
What. Just. Happened? (Week of July 15, 2024)
It’s been a bit of a crazy week around here. Power is back on in (most of) Houston, and I’m headed to Chicago for the American Association of Law Libraries Annual Conference. Hopefully, the massive Internet outage that’s happening with CrowdStrike and Microsoft 365 won’t have me hanging out at the airport bar all day.…
What. Just. Happened? (Week of July 8, 2024)
Starting in January of 2023, I started a project that compiles summaries for legal tech and innovation articles and creates a daily automated podcast. The AI Lawyer Talking Tech podcast has been a lot of fun, and gets a few hundred listens each week. That’s not too bad for something that I really created as…
Trust & Influence
For the first time since the beginning of the year I have some quiet time to reflect and write. I feel like the end of 2020 and early into the new year, there was a deluge of stimuli on the daily. Between traditional press and social media, something was always buzzing somewhere. There were cases…
