Go to KuKu Klok online alarm clock, and use the 24-hour clock to set the alarm, which comes in Classic Clock, Cockerel, Electronic and Slayer Guitar. This could be useful to avoid dozing on the job on a rainy Monday afternoon, or if you travel with your laptop, but not an alarm clock. Hat tip to Law Librarian Blog
Cellphone text message spam is especially annoying because
in addition to having to delete it, those of us without unlimited texting plans have to pay for it.
Fortunately, some of the major carriers have created ways that you can block text messages from the Internet, the main spam source, while still receiving text messages from friends and family with cell phones. Check out Pogue’s Posts for information on each provider and step by step directions for stopping this annoying intrusion.
Note that if you want to prevent voice spam, aka telemarketers, you may also register your cell phone number at the National Do Not Call Registry.
Need to add to your holiday wish list? Check out these fun mugs featuring lawyer comics. Perhaps the shark jokes mug would be great for members of the NSU Law community tired of people pointing out the humor of our university mascot?
For more ideas, check out Reid Trautz's 2007 Holiday Gift Guide for Lawyers, which includes only a couple law-specific items in a list of gadgets, toys, and even an animatronic Elvis. Trautz notes "not a tie, gavel, or kitschy brass scales on this list!"
And finally, the perfect gag gift for the overworked law student who can take a joke: Mental Floss's Law School in a Box. It comes "jam-packed" with a booklet called Law School in 96 pages, Heroes of the Courtroom trading cards, "You Be the Judge" dilemma scenarios, a mini-bar exam, and a diploma "with real Latin words."
Thanks to Ernie the Attorney and WisBlawg for the tips!
