The Return of Geeklawyer
Here's the fallout from our Geeklawyer post earlier this week. It features Ruthie and GL's motorcycle named "The Terrible and Inexorable Wrath of God". Told you these British bloggers had attitude.

Human and Naked: Brits Who Blawg--Part 2
Interesting statistics from The Economist: In 2000, the United Kingdom had a population of about 60 million, and the US had 285 million, or close to 5 times as many people as the UK. Yet in 100 years between 1901 and 2001 the UK boasted 88 Nobel Prize winners (most of them English) and the US 179. So the UK hatches 50% as many Nobel Laureates as the US with an overall talent pool one-fifth the size.
Moreover, 60 of the 88 UK Nobel prizes were in Chemistry, Physics or Medicine. So Brits [heart] science and "tech", too--and they are obviously very good at it. In legal tech and IP, here are two more Brits who blawg with great sites:
1. Justin Patten at Human Law, subtitled "Law, Technology and People" combines, in a novel and interesting way, IP and Employment Law. This is an active blog by a guy in Hertfordshire, just north of Greater London, who can both write and cover the issues even-handedly.
2. Naked Law, "UK Technology Law Laid Bare by Cambridge Lawyers" is written by the Cambridge office of London-based Mills & Reeve, a relatively large UK firm. It focuses on legal and regulatory developments affecting IT and technology in the UK. I'm going to monitor this one as well--lots of talented people in this key UK firm.

The Word-of-Mouth on Word-of-Mouth...
It's here from Larry Bodine and read The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell if you are really interested in this subject and productive "buzz" generally. This is an important (and fascinating) ground of discussion for any law firm under, say, 100 lawyers, which wants to serve clients normally represented by larger law firms.
