I have recently returned from hashtag ILTACON 2024. This was my third ILTACON, second as an exhibiting vendor, and first as a active ILTA volunteer. All three of the personas that I inhibit within ILTA could use some internal unpacking and will probably inform quite a lot of my thinking in the next few weeks… Continue reading Cool [Stuff] I Saw at ILTACON

Skeuomorphs, Metachronisms, and The Persistence of Memory
If you’ve been aware of my existence for awhile, you probably have noticed I love thinking about the history of technology and using it to look for parallels in my modern professional life. Partly so as to not repeat past mistakes and party because there’s only so many tunes in life – shout out Damian… Continue reading Skeuomorphs, Metachronisms, and The Persistence of Memory
Get in Loser, We’re Making Legal More Equitable
Earlier this morning, while waiting to take a phone call about some of my volunteer work <sigh>, I was perusing LinkedIn.

There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
I am recently returned from ILTA 2023 which was held in Orlando, Florida in a Disney-adjacent hotel and conference center. As I haven’t been to DisneyWorld since December of 2000, and my father’s birthday was the Saturday immediately following the conference, I decided to do a two-fer and also hit a few Disney theme parks.… Continue reading There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
Legal Technology and Innovation Competency
I had some projects that I wanted to work on this summer after I turned in some writing commitments and I’m happy/proud/shocked to announce that I completed one. Well, completed v1.0 of one. As you may know, one of the things that I am obsessed with is Legal Technology and Innovation training and education. It… Continue reading Legal Technology and Innovation Competency
