"BlawgWorld 07" Out Today
Today "BlawgWorld 07" is being released by the same crack team at TechnoLawyer that put together last year's (yes) "BlawgWorld 06." Here's the link to the eBook (pdf format).
They've done a nice job with making navigation easy, and I'm pleased to report that thanks to the wonders of alphabetical order, "Adam Smith, Esq." is one of the first entries listed. Each of the 77 blawg's represented has an entry from last year. The winning piece from "Adam Smith, Esq." is my April 2006 "Let's Assume Everyone Here's An Adult..." which, among other things, attempts to explain the remarkable durability of the deeply flawed billable hour with this observation:
"We all know the political folk wisdom that "you can't beat somebody with nobody," and I believe that pretty much all of the commonly proposed alternatives to the almighty billable hour amount to "nobody."
Take a look. I think you'll be surprised (pleasantly or unpleasantly is for you to judge) by the reach, quality, and scope of the articles.
