"Blawgs":
Law-related blogs -- known as "blawgs" -- have sprung up with the rise of the blogging self-publishing trend in general.That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Please go kill yourself for inventing that word. But only after this woman kills herself:
A 2-year-old model and actor who cut his head at a playground is seeking unspecified lost wages and other compensation from the city.Die please. Please. I'm asking nicely.
Konrad Mader of Greenwich was running toward a treehouse at a playground November 4 when he crashed into a railing, according to a claim filed last week by his mother.... The blond toddler received several stitches.
In a letter to officials, she demanded compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and a "lost wage amount due to his inability to audition or take modeling or commercial jobs while his head heals."
Mader blamed the boy's injury on a green railing, which she said blends in with the landscaping. Mader said the railing should be painted a brighter color.
Even if law is something you find boring, and SCO is something you think of as oft-repeated hype, that site is fascinating to visit. People get excited and astounded by legal statements (IBM's and SCO's respectively) on a regular basis; and the clear lay person explanations mean that it is non-lawyers that are feeling those emotions.

No, I don't find law boring at all. I've been known to dissect Supreme Court opinions for fun. It is merely the term "blawg" (dammit, you made me say it again;-) that I find extraordinarily offensive.
