How’s Your Client Service?
As Good As This?
Monday, May 5th, 2008
I’m veering off the law path with this one but I think there’s a story here for solo lawyers, too.
So, I paint. A little and not well, but I enjoy it a lot. I haven’t done it in awhile though, and my supplies were nonexistent. So I shopped around online for a new source. [...]
Happy RSS Awareness Day!
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Well, it’s here, and I totally forgot about it.
Why? I’ve been playing around with Twitter and all the myriad ways it can impact blogs, websites, social media activities, relationships, and best of all, your business.
What does that have to do with RSS? Plenty, as it turns out.

RSS 101: Feed Readers Galore!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008The Series So Far
In the last post, we discussed what RSS is, in simple terms, and how it might help busy lawyers (especially solos) keep up with news and blog posts by saving major time and aggravation.
In this post, we’re going to look at the particulars of setting up a reader and picking your feeds. [...]

RSS Day is May 1st:
Can You Read the Signs?
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008
You’ll notice a new badge in the recently pared-down sidebar over there. It’s about RSS Day — May 1st — a web-wide occasion designed to encourage the vast majority of us who aren’t using RSS to get with the program.
It’s easy for the rest of us, who are decidedly in the minority even now, [...]
BlueBook Available Online
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Check it out: the Bluebook (the blue-covered bible of legal citation) is available online. It’s not free of charge, but the yearly subscription rate (from 1 year for $25 to 3 years for $55) is quite reasonable.
Kudos to James Tyre of the Electronic Frontier Foundation for cluing the Solosez list in to this great [...]
The Couple That Vacations Together …
Monday, March 17th, 2008Sterling Okura commented on yesterday’s guest post by Stephanie Kimbro and linked to his own Biz Lift Blog, specifically a post about Traveling & Remote Working As a Couple.
I was so impressed with Sterling’s post that I promised in comments to plug it on the main page today, and I am. There’s something for just [...]
Did You Know You
Can Recall US Mail?!
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008
I didn’t. Boy, the things you learn from Solosez and mailing lists in general. This, folks, is the wisdom of the crowd, right here:
Someone posted to Solosez the inquiry (no doubt born of desperation) “Can you recall mail once you’ve put it in the US Post Office system?” Personally, I winced for the questioner, and [...]
Coming Up: Macs Practice Law Week!
Thursday, February 7th, 2008In just 11 days, here at The Inspired Solo and at my good friend Finis Price’s excellent blog TechnoEsq. we’ll be having a party, and you’re invited.
This isn’t just any party, mind you. It’s a party with a purpose. We’re going to celebrate Macintosh computers as the amazing technological partners in law practice that [...]
