Items for your holiday wish list

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!

Life caching

We all like gadgets. And now with the proliferation of storage devices we are able to virtually download our lives. The trend is called "life caching." Take for example Nokia's Lifeblog service which "automatically arranges all messages, images, notes, videos and sound clips" captured on the mobile phone. Read more about life caching techniques and opportunities in "Life Caching" at Trendwatching.com.
