How many e-mails have you sent?

Over the last 4+ years, I have sent an average of 1.65 e-mails per day.

This excluded all my first year college e-mail and all of my work e-mail over that period.

Brilliance of Men

The more I work, the more rare it is that I find a person who is both brilliant and effective. I know many people in both camps, and I place myself squarely in the 'effective' camp. A person who can do both is a bona fide diamond in the rough.

Law School Update

Law school can best be summarized as square peg - round hole experience. The law is a crude approximation, much the way anti-psychotic drugs zombify mental patients. The mental picture I am left with after reading so many cases is: an octagon attempting to approximate a circle.
