a couple quick evening links- hiring, a job, and cool profs

Matt Asay says some very kind words about how people should hire me, and mentions that I have a summer job lined up. I’ll announce the details once HR has gotten me signed on the dotted line, but suffice to say I’m very excited.
William Patry (maybe the most learned copyright lawyer on the planet, author of a new, 5,500 page treatise on copyright, and recently named chief copyright counsel for Google) just blogged about what he called ‘a model opinion‘. Not only do I think the opinion is a nice model of concise legal writing, that I should learn to emulate… the judge who wrote it is my Criminal Law prof and I’m having lunch in his judge’s chambers tomorrow. Again, I’m excited :)
The very cool Annalee Newitz is coming to New York next week to promote her newest book. I’m going to try to make it. But jeez… too many things, too little time. :/
First week of classes almost done. Phew.
