So it seems once again that I have spent far more time maintaining the machinery behind this blog than in maintaining the actual content. Perhaps part of this is the fact that, as an appellate lawyer, I do a whole hell of a lot of writing for work as it is. When you're writing the equivalent of a few novels a year, it gets hard to come home and be witty. Plus, apparently, a federal judge whom I've often admired, Judge Alex Kosinski of the federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, apparently thinks blogging is a "hateful," "grandiloquent" waste of time. Judge Kosinski is well-known for his computer geekery and his love of video games, and thus is a man after my own heart, so I'm almost saddened to see his take on blogging. Then again, I'm not convinced he's wrong, either.
Here in Michigan, spring seems to finally be here to stay. Which is nice when you've grown as tired of winter as I have. With spring has come the NBA playoffs, which the Detroit Pistons seem to have well in hand, the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, in which the Detroit Red Wings seem to be doing well, and the NFL draft, where the Detroit Lions seem to have done what they do best -- making ill-advised draft picks.
And I, of course, have been slacking off on my blog posts. I'm sure all two of you who read this have been devastated. And I guess we know what Judge Kosinski thinks.
