@Cloudscout @punkonbus1701 It’s not hard. It’s just not useful. Without text search, there’s no point.

I may need to take this quote to heart.

"Think not of the books you've bought as a 'to be read' pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed, as quoted at https://www.instagram.com/p/CnBV6PqPxZm/

The TBR pile is dead! Long live the #BookCellar!

@jsherkow A man after my own heart.
#Writing: For a variety of reasons—accountability, dissatisfaction with word count apps—I logged every minute of writing in 2022, with other data such as word count, location, total project time and so on. /1
I have come to believe that students should not be able to graduate law school without taking and passing a seminar entitled, "Microsoft Word for Law Students: Formatting Indentions; Using Styles and Headings; Accepting Track Changes and Deleting Comments" #LawFedi #LawProfs
@jsherkow I certainly had no idea how any of that worked before law school. 1L was rough based on trying to figure that all out.
I am slowly losing it. I beg, I plead: there is no need to do things like "Elno" and "Eloon" or El*n. Just use "Elon" so that those of us who don't want to see that can have actual, workable filters. There is no full-text search, so using "Elon" will not result in trolls being able to find your post just by putting "Elon" in the search. Mastodon searches only on hashtags This isn't Twitter. #FediTips

US News Law School rankings are flawed and exert a pernicious influence on #legaled, but we must navigate them. With 12 schools opting out so far (and more considering it), it's a fraught time for those of us with ballots. Here, I share my thoughts on the specific issues confronting those of us (1) who can vote in specialty rankings, (2) who object to US News rankings but (3) whose schools continue to participate.

What are the biggest developments/trends/issues in your area of law right now?

I'll start. For #DesignPatents, I'd day:

1. The NDIL #ScheduleA debacle

2. The #Greciaverse

a) Related: All the ridiculous GUI DPs

b) Related: How the do we interpret broken line claims?

3. The USPTO gearing up to "interpret" the phrase "for an article of manufacture" out of 35 U.S.C. § 171.

4. The utter mess that is the Federal Circuit's body of case law on ornamentality

@LeapingRobot I’ll have to try that with my laptop.
