Macintosh software for lawyers

The wifi revolution is here. I am posting from the local coffee house, Espresso House, here in Olathe, KS. Give them wifi and they will come…the coffee house has been here since June but I never noticed it before, until I saw a sign advertising free internet & download. So now I am here studying for a property final I have on Monday. Pretty nice little place, even a small marketplace. It seems cozy enough and I can vouch the espresso is pretty good here. The owner is really nice, he is offering free internet with no strings attached. I say come in a support the local coffee scene, it isn’t Starbucks and you don’t have pay to surf like you do there. BTW: I noticed a few “warchalkers” driving around picking up the signal here. Funny, I thought I was the only geek in Olathe. For those who don’t know what a warchalker is, it is a person who drives around locating wireless access points, seeking out the ultimate no wep, high-speed network to check a little email. If I had one suggestion here, I would kill the 50’s music and insert a little modern classical music or jazz.

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I am really beginning to feel the strains of law school right now. We were just assigned our open memorandum today and I have a property midterm on Monday. I guess it is safe to safe that I won’t be doing much of anything this weekend outside the realm of property. All this and not to mention, I have a cold. I guess the late night study sessions are a bit too much on the ole body now.

Nevertheless, I am really enjoying law school. The knowledge we digest everyday is awesome. I only hope I will be able to retain the information technology well beyond my three years here. I have so many topics I would like to right about but I feel extremely guilty for spending time away from the books. I think I will use this site as an outlet from the books.

One topic I would like to comment on is the obvious preying upon a 1L’s psyche in regards to study aids, bar review courses, memberships. It seems to me every time I turn around, someone is trying to sell us something to be more successful in school…$100.00 here a $100.00 there. I am convinced that there is a “dominant-subordinate” relationship going on here. I will invalidate this with Second Restatement of Contracts 79 comment e. : ) Sorry, I am such a contract’s geek.

Okay, time to get on with the studies…
