Blawg of the Day -- For the Defense

Posted on January 01, 2009
For The Defense is the blog of the Defense Research Institute. There are a good number of authors on this blog -- at least 14 -- and they're discussing a wide range of legal as well as political issues, including climate change, commercial litigation, employment law, intellectual property, professional liability, and more. One great feature of this blog is that each author has his or her own dedicated RSS feed, so you can narrow your reading if you prefer a particular author's voice.

Blawg of the Day -- PatentFools

Posted on December 31, 2008
The PatentFools are Gene Quinn and John White, patent attorneys and educators who believe themselves to be the funniest patent attorneys alive. (I am in no position to disagree on this.) The point of the blog is "to try and identify wrongs, articulate positions, influence decision-makers and have some fun saving the world for generations to come." Sounds like fun!
