#WhyIAmASolo - I Can Practice Law From My Couch

This couch became a meme online, as the photo indicates. But, I am repurposing it as the next FutureLawyer office. I have blogged about beach blanket law, treehouse law, shipping crate law, and many other unique office space solutions for the solo practitioner. This one, however, is my favorite. It has everything, including a desk for the notebook computer, and drink holders. So, if your significant other kicks you out of bed, and you have to sleep on the couch, you might as well sleep on the one at the office. And, contrary to the photo, a lot can get done, if you want to.

Hell Freezes Over - FutureLawyer Posts A Cat Video

Not really. I like cats. I just prefer dogs. Cats make me sneeze and my nose run. And, if I see one more cute cat video online, I might (well, you know). So, I give you my kind of cat video. Meet Nybble:

#WhyIAmASolo - Because Stupidity Is Amplified By Extra Humans

Meetings - Despair, Inc.. Thanks to Michael Wade for alerting me to the Demotivational website, which highlights posters that don't motivate you. This one about meetings hightlights the truism that the more people in the room, the dumber the decisions. Aren't we dumb enough by ourselves? Why amplify the problem? Go solo.

Priceless

Ready for baseball. Priceless.

How To Eat Soup

Actually, the best way is to eschew the spoon altogether. Pick up the bowl, bring it to your lips, and tilt. The soup will find its way to your throat. Put the bowl down. Wait exactly 2 seconds. You may count out loud. Repeat.

#WhyIAmASolo - You Can Never Have Too Many Personal Assistants

Amazon Alexa goes AWOL for many users | TechCrunch. Alexa took a break for a few hours yesterday. She decided that she didn't want to go to work, and took a sick day. This happens with human employees and staff, which is one reason why I don't have any. But, computer assistants don't take days off, they don't take vacations, they don't get salaries, and they don't complain all the time about my weird work hours. However, they do sometimes lose their connection to the Internet, or some server in Mumbai goes down. So, I have Google devices in just about every room I have an Amazon Alexa device, and my phone or Smartwatch are also usually by my side. So, when Alexa says: "Sorry, I can't hear you", I just switch to "Ok Google", are you working today?". I really can't wait until I can just implant a computer assistant in my temple and get rid of all this hardware. Hey, I wonder if you will be able to talk to me after I'm dead?
