![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} New weblog every 5.8 seconds -- Comment()
Technorati tracks 3M blogs! "On an average weekday, we're seeing over 15,000 new weblogs created per day. That means that a new weblog is created somewhere in the world every 5.8 seconds." [via Joi Ito's Web] This is a huge number. And the trends does not yet show any sign of leveling off. Marvelous.

Why Trial Lawyers Are Good: "The defining case in Edwards' legal career wrapped up that same year. In 1993, a five-year-old girl named Valerie Lakey had been playing in a Wake County, N.C., wading pool when she became caught in an uncovered drain so forcefully that the suction pulled out most of her intestines. [...] Attorneys describe his handling of the case as a virtuoso example of a trial layer bringing a negligent corporation to heel." [A Man with a Ph.D. - Richard Gayle's Weblog] Wikipedia tells more about John Edwards' background: "Before entering politics, Edwards was a successful trial attorney who represented families and children that had allegedly been wrongly injured by negligent corporate manufacturers and municipal entities." And there is a comprehensic entry on John Kerry as well. PS. Wikipedia just celebrated the 300,000th entry in the dictionary. I recommend the current events and random page services.

Having a Backup Career Plan: "It's odd. I don't know if it's the field of work I'm in or not, but a high percentage of folks that I know reasonably well all seem to have what I call a "backup career plan" in mind. Some of them are actively working on their plan--going back to school part or full-time, getting additional training, etc. Others haven't made any concrete moves yet but seem to talk about it more and more."

Bill to kill iPod -- Comment()
Copyright bill poses threat to iPod's future: "Apple's sleek digital audio device is one of the most successful tech toys, selling more than 3 million units since November 2001. [...] But its future, with that of other new tech gadgets, could be in trouble if a controversial congressional bill passes. [It] would make it easier for entertainment companies to sue tech firms for copyright infringement." On the other front, analysts have just found out that iPod could be used to store data, and thus iPod is a security risk: "The iPod poses such a major security risk for businesses, to the extent that businesses should consider banning the renowned digital music player altogether."
