suspended, indeed

well, it has been... 13 months. i briefly created a beer-themed blog (beerjd, as i called it) in the interim, but that was abandoned rapidly, for several reasons, mostly a growing interest in learning about wine. i'll probably always find most of my motivation in technology law and policy, though, and in everyday observances of the world.

a very brief recap of events since June 1, 2007, to be followed by a more substantive post (or two). the bar studying process was one of the worst periods of my life, but the exam itself wasn't the end of the world (even though i barely slept during those nights out of anxiety), and i passed on the first try, so all's well that ends well? i worked for 10 months as a government honors attorney in DC and i was very happy with it. but then i got a great opportunity to do a "dream job", at least for my background and interests, so i chased it and got it, and will be starting soon. i have a steady and serious girlfriend, which makes everything else in life better. i'm blogging from a black 13" Macbook, having shelved my long-beloved (and 4 year old!) Dell X300 to escape from the Microsoft hegemony. [and, yes, to substitute instead the Apple one... but, what can you do...] i think that's about it.
