#WhyIAmASolo - Sitting Down For Work? You're Doing It All Wrong

You've Been Sitting Wrong At Your Workplace Your Entire Life - Likes. Practicing law involves a lot of sitting at a desk. With the rise of technology, that time has expanded to include looking at a monitor and typing on a keyboard. All the lessons your mom taught you about sitting up straight; lessons reinforced in the military, are wrong, wrong, wrong. Get a decent chair like the one in the photo, and lean back in a relaxed fashion, while giving support to the lumbar region. Using a computer mouse from this position is a lot less stressful on your low back. So, relax, and work away. Just remember to get up often, and walk around. When you are a solo, you have to do this anyway. No one is bringing you coffee.

#TBT - The Futurelawyer In 1998

I will have to figure out how to celebrate the 20th anniversary somehow in 2017. This is a page grab of the site in June, 1998. The Internet was in its infancy; and, the tech was pretty basic; but, it served as a front end for my musings on legal tech. Anybody out there have a page grab earlier than 1998 of their site?

Bring The Jack Back, Jack

iPhone 7 is getting the headphone jack back, courtesy of Fuze. A new Indiego project promises to bring back the phone jack on the iPhone 7. However, to get there, you need to add a battery pack case that will add bulk and weight to the device. But, by building a dongle into the case, the user will have a Lightning jack for charging and a phone jack for wired speakers or headsets. Take that, Apple.

Lithium Ion Batteries - Hot Chemical Reactions In Your Pocket

Why Some Lithium-Ion Batteries Explode. Let's see. How about we create an energy source made up of a chemical material that charges up through heat and creating a chemical reaction that, when over heated, can explode. Then, we put the source in our pockets or plug it in to our car. What could go wrong? In case you thought exploding batteries were only a problem with Samsung Galaxy phones, think again. The problem is rare; but, is a risk of all battery technology; especially batteries that are charged with electricity, and given the chance that safety devices in the batteries can fail. Quick. What do you think about when you hear the phrase: "chain reaction" ? I thought so.
