Happy Anniversary PBN!
Tonight is the 10th Anniversary celebration of the formation of Pro Bono Net, where I worked for about 5 1/2 years. I started as its third employee — me and the two co-founders. It was my first step away from the practice of law and into the world of pro bono as a career. It's

On the Fritz
I returned home last night from a very relaxing weekend all ready to get some work done for this week's blog posts. Instead, I came home to find my internet down once again. Now this has happened twice before, and each time I made an appointment for an RCN technician to come fix it. Also

I am a Junkie
My internet was down for less than 24 hours and I was having the twitchy fits. Apparently I have a problem. Seems to be back up for the time being. I don't mind being offline when I plan to be — it's just when I don't plan it and I am cut off suddenly that

I Think I Have a Little Addiction Problem
Yesterday I noticed that my cell phone was off, which was weird, because I didn’t remember turning it off. I turned it back on and it immediately went off again. I had just charged it before work, so there was no reason for it to run out that quickly, I thought. Until I thought about
