Even more evidence that human-induced global warming is real and its negative repercussions are occurring NOW. This article focuses on the effects of global warming on Pacific trade winds, specifically the weakening of the Walker Circulation. This circulation effects climate around the globe and its further weakening could severely disrupt the ecosystem of the ocean,…
Privacy Paper Draft
Good news! The draft of my paper for Law, Technology, and Privacy class is now complete. Right now, the title is “How to Protect Location Privacy in a Wireless World.” I am extremely proud of my work on this paper; I spent the better part of the weekend and today working on it. I enjoyed…
Chipotle
The highlight of today was going out to Chipotle for some excellent fresh mex. The burrito did a great job of filling me up – mine was huge! The ingredients used at Chipotle seem fresh and wholesome. I enjoy getting a burrito every once in a while. Other than Chipotle, my day was pretty boring….
$3 billion gone!
Bill Gates lost $3 billion dollars yesterday when Microsoft's stock tumbled 11 percent after the company had to lower earnings expectations. Microsoft is just getting too big for its own good. They are pouring an awful lot of money to compete with Google instead of putting out their new operating system on time. While Microsoft…
Beautiful Weather
Another gorgeous California day! Not a cloud in sight and pleasant temps. Yesterday was actually getting on the toasty side (relative to my Seattle tolerance 🙂 with a high of 81 at Stanford. Today, the ocean breeze picked up and it kept the high temperature to a comfortable 71.5 degrees. I got some quality work…
LRW complete
Another indication that first year of law school is winding down – today was the last legal research and writing class. We talked about some tips for summer employment and then went to a Japanese restaurant in Palo Alto for some sushi. This spot is not as good as Sushitomi in Mountain View, but I…
Alarming News
While the news in this article on CNN.com did not surprise me, it is still very alarming. Scientists have concluded that the only logical source for last years unprecedented hurricane season is the increasing content of greenhouse gases warming ocean waters and melting away polar ice caps. The evidence is more compelling than last years…
Allergies
All the rain this spring has resulted in an explosion of weeds and pollen. The unfortunate result for me is agonizingly itchy eyes. A simple touch will trigger a compulsive urge to itch and keeping itching leaving my eyes red and my patience tested. It sucks, I hope it magically disappears soon on day. Today…
Law Prom
Once again, high expectations yield anticlimactic results. The law formal (or law prom) was not the “party of the year” I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, it was still a good time, but definitely not something to write home about. The location was great, I think they put most of the funds…
Law School Formal
Tonight is the Law School Formal. The buses leave for San Francisco at 8 pm. The party will be at the Old Federal Reserve Building. I am really looking forward to the food and drink offerings. Here is the description of the building: “One of San Francisco’s most opulent event spaces, the Old Federal Reserve…
