Libertarians Should Stop Wasting Time with the Republican Party

In the run up to last Tuesday’s election, some prominent libertarians wrote about why libertarians should abandon the Libertarian Party and work within one of the old parties (but really, they mean the Republican Party). Libertarian activists should choose whichever party they feel more comfortable working within. That’s what Ron Paul did. Likewise, Rand Paul […]

On March 30, 2012 at 9:57 pm, my wife had a beautiful son, Joel. He was 7 lbs, 10 oz, and 19″ long. Unfortunately, there was some retained placenta and she lost a lot of blood and had to be transferred to the hospital for curettage and a blood transfusion. Joel and I came over

The NFL doesn’t want you to see the whole game

Leave a Comment

When you watch a football game on TV, it’s an endless barrage of highlights, cameras focused on the quarterback or the receiver. The view that you don’t ever see is the “All-22” shot, showing the whole field and the actions of both teams simultaneously. The Wall Street Journal has a fascinating article that delves into

On the Redskins, halfway through the season

Leave a Comment

We’re halfway through the season and the Redskins are 3-4 going into today’s game against the 49ers at Washington. I’m crossing my fingers for a win today, but after last week’s game (9 sacks!), I don’t know if it’s realistic. Beck’s not a bad quarterback, but the injuries to the offensive line don’t give him

Hiring a criminal defense lawyer

Leave a Comment

I spend all of my working hours defending people accused of crimes. However, because I chose to be a public defender, you can’t hire me, I have to be appointed. If you are charged with a crime and don’t qualify for a public defender, you should probably talk to a reputable criminal defense lawyer. Brian

Coffee: Is there anything it can’t do?

Leave a Comment

I like coffee. It wakes me up, helps me focus, and tastes good. Turns out, it’s not just good, it’s good for you. If you’re a guy, it lowers your risk for prostate cancer. If you’re a woman, it lowers your risk for breast cancer. If you drink, it lowers your risk of getting cirrhosis.

Rock climbing skills applicable to real life

Leave a Comment

One of the things you learn when rock climbing is that you always need at least one stable hold when moving. Throwing yourself at the next hold usually leads to falling. Now that I have a broken ankle, I find those same skills of having a steady hold before moving are paying off when showering

It’s been a long time

Leave a Comment

Looking at the blogger dashboard, it looks like it’s been almost seven months since my last post. Things that have changed: I’m going to be a father in +/- 3 weeks. I’m about halfway through the winter 2010 Stanford iPhone Development course on iTunes U. I’m handling my second felony case as a public defender.

My trial record: 2-3-3

Leave a Comment

Derek prodded me to post some good news, since it’s been too long. My case load is larger than before, up to around 265. Since I started last August, I’ve had eight jury trials. My record at this point is 2-3-3. Two wins, three ties, and three losses. Now, you may be wondering how you
