Announcing PDF for Lawyers - it is with great hope and little fanfare that I announce my new project:  PDF for Lawyers.  Right before the blog affliction took me I had been planning to write a book for lawyers on using PDF files.  I never was able to write the book (too much blogging no doubt).  Well, now that I understand how to use Radio better I have figured out how to host this at a different site and use Radio to post to it.  So, that's it.  If you are a lawyer interested in using Acrobat to make your office less paperful (going paperless is a dream) then tune in, drop comments, send me emails with tips and let's all learn more about using Adobe Acrobat.  Oh, and of course it has an XML/RSS feed.

Radio & News Aggregator commenting - Dave links to Evangelism and says "RSS 2.0 has a neat feature that allows an item to link to comments about that item. Content tools and aggregators can support this feature, allowing people to comment directly from the aggregator." 

I like this feature, and I have used it to comment quickly from within the News Aggregator on other people's blogs who use the Radio comment system.  I, however, have been using the Yaccs comment system up to now for a couple of reasons: (1) it lets me subscribe to my comments as an RSS feed, which is useful because I don't have any reason to go to my own site, and even if I did I would only see the main page.  Sometimes people go to an old page and leave comments; and (2) Yaccs lets me delete comments, which I do usually if someone messes up and simply comments twice (which happens if you click twice before the system 'catches up'), or on the rare occasion (only happened once) when someone somehow left a pornographic picture in there.  Otherwise, I let the First Amendment be my guide.

That said, I like the feature of being able to comment from within the aggregator and if the RSS 2.0 thing works in all aggregators then it's a wonderful thing.  But what about the other features that I like in Yaccs?  Can the new Radio comment system do that?

Legal KM news - congratulations to Joy London on her switch from BigLaw to BigUKLaw.  Joy's site is one that I always learn something from.  I hope to learn more as she delves into the differences between legal KM in this country and in the United Kingdom.

Sugar Mr. Poons? - is the title of a blog by law student Tobias James Stern, which features the random ramblings of a moderately liberal law student.  Thankfully, it has an RSS/XML feed.

Today's Tidibits - More proof that wireless is soon going to be everywhere: N.Y. Times article on the wireless Internet set up at a Mt. Everest basecamp - and...Sony is going to add USB on the go to its Clie PDAs which will make it easier to connect peripherals like portable keyboards etc (Sony seems to understand the value of USB.  I just bought a Sony desktop computer for just over $1,000 because it has 6 USB 2.0 ports and two firewire ports) - and...Sony DVD/CD changer that holds 300 disks also plays DVDs loaded with MP3 files (let's see that's about 400 songs per DVD, and over 100,000 songs total if stored in the MP3 format.  Is that enough music for you?) - and...Kevin Mitnick, the world's most famous hacker is free once again to use computers and to surf the Internet (I saw him on TechTV the other night with Steve Wozniak, and he was asked what thing he will love the most about returning to the Internet, and he said 'online banking.'  That got a laugh).

Text Messaging is not just for people who can see - blind people can use SMS too - and...If you are interested in Chess, here's a chess weblog - and...Cisco is suing a Chinese telecom company over a patent issue - and... we have heard that actress Hedy Lamarr invented & patented a frequency hopping system while playing piano, but here's the more accurate story - and...looking for a digital video recorder, voice recorder, and 1.3 MgPixel camera for about $129?
