[Jan. 14, 2005]
A few observations for a crankier than usual Friday:
“tinyredcheck” Chutzpah Poo-Bah: You gotta love Prof. Bainbridge: he rattles his tin cup for donations,
but can also make fun of himself by offering to sell his weblog coverage — I can be bought.”
It’s a sad commentary on something (readers’ intelligence?, the image of lawyers, expert
witness, webloggers, professors?) that Steve had to add, “P.S.: Before you get all worked up
about this post, does the phrase “tongue in cheek” mean anything to you?”
Count me among the skeptics when it comes to politicians or the wealthy, who
point to “public service” and “philanthropy” as reasons to lighten their sentences for
corruption and other peccadilloes. And, just how many grains of salt should be taken
while the judge reads all the “character” letters from friends and beneficiaries? He’ll defintely
violate the new federal health diet rules. (Cf. Votelaw and this NYT article.)
Congratulations to Bob Ambrogi for joining the Law.com weblog circuit. I’m wondering
how Bob and Bill Heinze of I/P Updates were able to negotiate having a photo and mini-
profile at the top of their righthand sidebar, while all the other Networkians are saddled
with a big, ugly ad right at the top.
Bill Heinze of I/P Updates engages in a bit of puffery today, with the headline “Welcome
to One of the Ten Best Blogs on the Web.” Although not mentioned in the post, the List
by “Managing Intellectual Property“ magazine is for the best I/P weblogs. The full list here.
The green-eyed monster at f/k/a is waiting for us to be named one of the 10 Best [Haiku-Legal-Ethics]
Weblogs. Congrats, Bill!
The consumer watchdog/curmudgeon in me far prefers John L. Welch’s approach in his
TTABlog headline “TTABlog Makes The IP Blog “Top Ten Isn’t that good enough?
I also wonder where — other than “on the Web” — the folks at “Managing Intellectual Property” thought the best weblogs might reside.
Caution: I/P Updates has one of those confounded scrolling-ticker-thingies across the top, which — especially, in conjunction with the Law.com flipping rolodex ad — may result in dizziness or fainting.
update (Jan 21, 2005): Don’t miss Bill Heinze’s “inspired” Comment — the very first limerick dedicated to this weblog! (Hey, is he calling me anapestic? I’m used to dyspeptic.) Thanks, Bill, I’m sure glad you’re not from Nantucket.
Re law.com and the placement of the ads: I was wondering the same thing. The sites look much better with the ad appearing under the photo.

There once was an ethical esquire
Who created haiku with a fire
When he watched my blog’s ticker
His brain went a flicker
Still his congrats did not make him a liar.
Thanks for the “inspiration.” –Bill Heinze http://www.ip-updates.com
