Calling All Lawyers
I know we have quite a few attorneys who read this blog, and I now come to you for advice. I’m applying for summer jobs primarily at firms in New York (although I’m also looking at London, Seattle, and San Francisco), trying to focus on firms that have a strong commitment to pro-bono work and [...]

Every year my family draws names instead of buying Christmas (aka Atheist Kids Get Presents, Too! Day) presents for everyone in the family.

Two Questions: What would be a great gift for a brilliant, feminist, mouthy, headstrong [...]

I am working on putting together and refining a five minute story to be told for an American Sign Language exam tomorrow. Chuck, my evil and competent classmate, is great at this stuff (as well he should be, writing his thesis on ASL grammar and syntax and all). Me? I can’t remember the goddamned vocabulary [...]

I’m trying to find a movie that I cam across on the internet last year. It is by a European group, perhaps Sweden or Denmark. The gist is that several burly men, bounty hunters of a sort, hunt down and capture wild Santa Clauses and tame them for Santa jobs in malls at Christmas time. [...]
