It's vaguely depressing to look at a list of comparative rankings for the Top 25 law schools and find that neither of the schools that has accepted you appears on the list.

Yummy! A glossary of Sufi Islamic terminology.

Take a moment and indulge yourself in some Zen.

Boo-yah! Guess where I got in to law school yesterday.

The Arrogant Worms -- campfire tunes for grown-ups. (Malcolm solves his problems with a chainsaw...and he never has the same problem twice.)

Kahlil Gibran -- it helps.

Ever wondered what a lucky charm has to do with Lemurs?

Friday, March 22, 2002

Shit.

I don't think I believe this article.

This is an interesting Law School Rankings site -- try ranking schools by quality of teaching for some fun results.

This kicks ass: Numbers in Over 4000 Languages. Need I say more?

Here's some interesting advice on attending a safety vs. reapplying in the fall. I wonder if I agree.

Not quite ready for Biblical prime time, it's the heretical Gospel of Thomas.

One of the funniest Car and Driver reviews I've ever read.

Interesting...the man-on-the-street's assessment of the pecking order among Bay Area law schools.

Wow! As someone who at one point maintained a quotes page, I can't help but get a kick out of this quotation database.

What a nifty gallery of Fellowship of the Ring posters, ostensibly in support of a campaign to swing the voters at the Academy.

Unexpected images from a digital camera that someone dropped in a pond and then fished back out. Nifty stuff.

An interesting primer on UK estate law.

The fundamental problem with the Boalt wait list is that I won't hear back from them before we have to make a decision on moving.

A good place to resize animated gifs, should you ever find yourself faced with the need to do so: GIFWorks.

Someone needs to rebuild the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

It helps to see some people getting lucky.

Fun with pomanders, golden apples and other interesting traditions for blessings and luck.

I probably should just take up cake decorating, since I enjoy looking at the results so much.

Diamond Mine has arrived at Yahoo Games! Now I don't have to touch the MSN GameZone any more :)

Pulp Phantom! See if you can identify all the other movies they're satirizing as well.

From the PR boards: here's a law.com survey of 2L summer associates asking, among other things, whether they'd attend the same law school if they had it to do over again.

Wow, that's one giant sloth.

Feel like designing your own secret language? The Language Construction Kit will help.

My husband won't purchase a cell phone (or let me purchase one) before he's background checked it at the FCC.

More fun cake decorating pictures.

You don't need to read Russian to appreciate this site full of Sting realaudio files, even though they're of...er...Russian bootleg quality.

You've met Gimpel the Fool, you've seen Forrest Gump...now read The True Story of Ah Q.

Here's a highly entertaining little quicktime movie (if you find this kind of thing entertaining -- I do) of people dancing the tango cut with shots of Yo-Yo Ma playing the cello.

Will says they're actually going to do this memorial on the site of the World Trade Center...with my heartfelt approval.

A lot of us on the law school discussion boards are wondering exactly how accurate those LSAC calculators are.

I wonder if they'll ever invent a Perpetual Motion Machine

Here's a FAQ on how to transfer after your 1L year.

Sunday, March 03, 2002

One of the things I'm decidedly not looking forward to in law school is the fact that they rank their classes. I've never gone to a school with class rank before.

From Sickpuppies: it's the Human Virus Scanner. See how many have infected you.

This Korean site full of Real Audio file has some great Yo-Yo Ma stuff.

Here's an update on who's in where with numbers similar to mine.

Wow! How many free web hosts did you know existed?

Saturday, March 02, 2002

Pondering having your stomach stapled? Don't. (This link is not for the faint of heart.)

Starting to think about the Eventual House again.

We actually know some of the people whose comments were selected for publication in this release: U.S. v. Microsoft: Comments Provided to the Court.

From Melinda: more information on the 5 servings of vegetables per day we're all supposed to be eating.

Nothing is so appealing on a lazy Saturday afternoon as gazing longingly at pictures of world-class cake decorating. Mmmmm.

Another chinchilla breeder's site, one which uses some silly HTML tricks.

It's been awhile since I read a freethought rant like this one, purporting to offer Proof That God Doesn't Exist. They're invariably rather cute, in an overwrought kind of way.

Back from two weeks' vacation to find that I've been waitlisted at Boalt. Ah well. At least they accepted me at Hastings.
