It seems a much better approach than dogvertising.
Dance of the Light Bulbs
I would never have believed that light bulbs could dance until I saw this. Ballet has never been a deep interest but this is magnificent. It starts slow but worth the build up, imho. [Tip o' de hat to Neatorama]
What if law schools opened their own law firms?
Here’s a great idea. Freshly minted law graduates are unable to find jobs because they lack real “experience.” Generally they have to serve in some lesser capacity to gain that experience before being considered ready to practice.
Brooklyn Law School Professor Bradley Borden and University of Maryland School of Law Professor Robert Rhee have proposed a way for those students to get ahead and be more marketable. The two have written an article for the South Carolina Law Review titled, “The Law School Firm.” That’s right, have law schools create their own law offices, work for clients and employ the students.
The National Law Journal has a great overview of the proposal. I think this idea could apply to a lot of professional schools as well: Commercial art schools, industrial training schools, agricultural schools. Heck, medical schools have been doing this for years — why not other occupations?

Day of the Lion
And what better to celebrate the arrival of the new Lion OS from Apple than with an advert for The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessimore? I want this app/book for my iPad!
Potatoes in A Jumper
An interesting interview with English journalist, Grace Dent, whose most recent book is How to Leave Twitter. In the book and the interview she explains the impact Twitter has had on her life. NSFW.
Happy Fourth of July
Marvin Gaye sings his version of the US national anthem at the 1983 NBA All Stars game. It’s unlike any version you may have heard before but it is truly an American original. Have a great holiday everybody!
