How is it already the end of December? On a personal note, I am glad to say that I met my major goals for this year– it sucked less than 2005. And that applies to blogging, as well. While I’m not winning any awards over here, I managed to get name-dropped in the NY Times, which at least gave me… Read more →

Rumors
The rumors of this blog’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. It’s just pining for the fjords. Instead of posting Linky Links, I’ve been playing around with del.icio.us for now. Read more →
Programming Notes
Why has this blog sucked more than usual lately? A few reasons. Mainly, getting back into searching for a job after the bar exam redux is difficult. I realized that I turned a year older and am much less of an adult than I thought I’d be at this point in my life. I recorded a podcast about the House… Read more →
Upcoming events
Mar. 15 (next Monday), I’m sitting in with Hieronymus Bosch on saxophone and keys. Come by and enjoy some rock and mixed with a little bit of roll. 9:45 pm at Continental (25 3rd Ave.). There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but this is a free show– there is NO cover charge. Other upcoming gigs I… Read more →
2003 in Review
Where did 2003 go? It seems like just yesterday was the middle of the summer, and now we’re on the doorstep of 2004. While I sit around and wait for OS X 10.3 (Panther) to finish installing on my laptop, I can revew some of my favorite posts from this past year, in no particular order: Songs: Evidence Hokey Pokey… Read more →
Writer’s, er, what’s that called?
Well, my brief is done, and it’s perhaps the single worst piece of $#@! I’ve ever written. I never got into the zone writing it. (Researching, yes. Writing, no.) Overall, it has no flow. Fortunately, I’ll have another chance to submit a revised version for a grade, but I think this is the version I’ll be arguing for moot court.… Read more →
Adventures with e-mail
If you sent me email this morning (between about 9am and now, 1:10pm) at andrewraff.com, I never got it, due to a change on the server. My email should be working now. It may be time to switch to a different webhost… Read more →
2002 review
At the end of the year, what better way to find something to post than go through and find this year’s greatest hits and trends.

Exam time rambling
Since the tenative agreement between the MTA and TWU fortunately kept the subways running, exams continued to tick along today. It was mildly surreal leaving the law school after the torts exam to the scene of transit workers marching from MTA headquarters towards the Brooklyn Bridge with at least 5 news helicopters hovering overhead. Now, only the final stretch looms… Read more →
Advantage: insomnia
One advantage of not being able to fall asleep is that it frees up time to do things you’re putting off so that you can sleep. For example, putting up my freshly revised, career center approved resume on the web. Get your own law student for summer indentured servitude. Read more →
