Happy 70th Birthday!

Super Bowl Advertising

I am surprised that we didn't see the following announcement during the blackout during Sunday's Super Bowl.

"This power outage is brought you by Buffalo Wild Wings."

Caroline Walker (British, 1982), Sunday Evening, 2021. Oil on canvas, 125.1 x 100 cm.

Grass Is Greener ~ St. Paul and The Broken Bones… = ]

Vivid scenes of everyday winter scenes.

John Little (Canadian, 1928-2024), Rue O'Connell Angle St-Simon, in Disappearing Quebec, 1968. Oil on canvas, 12 x 16 in.

Rest in Peace Nelle Harper Lee.

Much of the time and investigator grinds out the day-to-day work involved in personal injury cases and the like. Sometimes a really interesting and high-profile case comes in and you just feel the adrenaline start pumping.

That happened yesterday, when I was contacted by Mark Reichel and Steve...

What does "has a servant's heart" mean?

Copiers are full of your secrets!

Copiers are full of secrets.

Did you know that modern copiers have a hard drive that digitally retains every (or nearly every) document copied on that machine and the vast majority of those machines are without any mechanism to erase or encrypt the data.  As a result when you sell or trade in a copier you are probably sending all kinds of private information that identity thieves can then get their hands on.

In addition, lawyers conducting discovery should be aware that an individual's copier or a company's copier may be a source of information relevant to an on going law suit.

One law firm I spoke with purchased what was represented as brand new copier and its hard drive was full of documents from and accounting firm. 

For a brief primer check out this video from CBS News that aired in 2010.

You can thank Sandy

"You can thank Sandy"  A friend got a marketing E-mail for some webinar saying that due to an overwhelming demand from people affected by Hurricane Sandy the discount registration period was being extended. The E-mail opened with large, bold type "You can thank Sandy." Shortly thereafter, he received another E-mail from that company apologizing for the insensitive tone of the first E-mail. E-mail #2 also added that appropriate steps were taken to make sure this would never happen again.  I have to say that I didn't find the Sandy reference insensitive and I certainly hope that appropriate steps doesn't mean that someone lost a job. How do other people feel about this? Given that the current Noreaster is being referred to as Son of Sandy is anyone really offended?
