Call Me Kiki

Mark Twain, speech in Montreal, Quebec, 1881.

Has anyone else been watching Austin on Jeopardy?! I'm loving him!

Here we go again...

“You can send a cease-and-desist and not be a jerk about it.”

Glad to see there women using the law.

I’ve always thought post-its were one of the best inventions ever. When I recently received exceptional customer service from 3M, the company received a piece of my heart. Now, reading this, wow, its place in my heart is even larger. 3M is defenently a company for everyone to keeps its eyes on.

(Sidenote: I used to walk past this building on my walk from BART to Boalt. Was always fun to think about all the discoveries happening behind those doors.)

Another song from Linkin Park’s epic performance at Los Angeles’ Griffith Observatory.

RIP Chester Bennington 

I love reading the blog posts of my publicist friend, Rey, who shares the often very ridiculous writer-publicist communications he experiences. I came across this archived email today and thought in the vein of Rey’s posts that I might start sharing some of my own. It’s amazing the number of emails like this I’ve received over the past few years with regard to the events that I organized as a member of UC Hastings’ Association of Communications, Sports and Entertainment Law (ACSEL) and my involvement with specific American Bar Association (ABA) conferences. When I replied to this guy, Jason, “Which speakers are you looking to contact?” - he, of course, never wrote back. It’s very frustrating to experience, time and time again, such brainless and advantage-seeking correspondences. Contacts are highly valued when you’re a professional. Be humble when you ask for something. Put in some details to demonstrate some effort. Don’t correspond like Jason corresponded.

Another day, another alleged copycat in the fashion industry.

I'm very excited to attend a lecture on the legal and ethical ramifications of human genome editing tonight. Here's a great article/video I found while doing research to try to catch myself up on where science currently stands with human genome editing. Go ahead, expand your mind.
