Quick update on some cool things!

Okay, I haven't blogged in so long, it is almost embarrassing!  But I have been so busy with so many things, which everyone keeps telling me is a good thing.  Okay, it is, but then, I am not able to do everything I want.

So what is new in the world of lawyers and technology.  Well, everything keeps moving at the speed of light, of course.  I just got a Sony bloggie, and I must admit that I love it more than my camera.  The quality is pretty good, and I was able to get pictures of President Obama and video of him shaking my son's hand at Schiller Park (you can see Ben and Rick directly below the podium and to the right of the boy in red sitting on someone's shoulders) all from the same very tiny device.  I got it from woot.com, which has excellent sales, but make sure it is something you really want.  They feature one deal a day in a variety of categories.  You should check in everyday with them and with 1saleaday.com.  I have purchased items from both, including computers, watches, and three bloggies!  The boys get to have fun, too, you know.  Don't tell them, though.  They are gifts that haven't been given yet.

Latest apps?  Ohio State Bar Association has a new app.  You download it from the App Store or Android Market (Google Play).  Every day it has an update.  It is a great way to stay current while waiting out in the hallway for your case to get called.

My mind was just exploding the other day as I watched www.nytschoolsfortomorrow.com schools for tomorrow.  I watched it live stream, but anyone can watch it now.  I highly recommend the session on what schools will be like in five years.  Watch that, and you can figure out some practical implications.

Still working on my new website, practicingsynergy.com, a place where you can come and learn the basics of technology.  I am testing it with new users to make sure that it is user friendly.  I will keep you posted on what else is going on.

At any rate, those are my random thoughts for now.  What are you learning about or recommending in this brave new world?
