Throughout the year there are a number of "Awareness Months" for various diseases and disorders, and while I sympathize with people with these disorders, and have a tendency to donate to their various goals, most awareness months have little personal effect on me.

The time has come once again for an announcement of something I've been working on at Justia. Actually this is a double announcement of not one but two new services that I can finally mention today.
The first is a whole new way to Search Justia's massive amounts of free legal information, and it's thanks to a brand new service by Google (which is a commercial version of a service that has been available for free for some time) called Google Custom Search Business Edition. At it's core, this is the same as the Google Coop: Custom Search Engine that has been available for some months. Some time ago I created hundreds of these custom search engines on Justia to search a variety of legal topics and sites, and you can find these custom search engines scattered around justia.com and it's various subdomains. From search engines that search all law school web sites in California (or any other state) to search engines that search all of the blogs in Justia BlawgSearch, these cses have been a fantastic way to use the power of Justia's free Legal information to search the web for legal information.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of this year's MacWorld Conference and Expo, which my wife and I got to attend, was not the announcement of the iPhone, but the lack of the phrase "And now, one more thing" which has been Steve Jobs' catch phrase at his keynotes for quite some time now. Since Jobs didn't use it this year, I'm going to shamelessly steal the phrase for the day and say "And Now, one more thing from Justia". I mentioned previously, that I was already working on the next project after Dockets and that Justia would be announcing it soon. My boss announced it today on a legal mailing list, so now I can finally talk about Justia Regulation Tracker at RegulationTracker.com!

I've updated Cap's Log to the new Wordpress 2.1, though this may only be temporary, I'm planning on combining it and several other blogs I manage into a Wordpress MU installation once I'm sure that MU works. In other news, after listening to this week's episode of MacBreak Weekly, I've started messing around with Twitter.

This is a retroactive post, in May, I had a horrific experience where I almost died from a combination ailment and car accident. While working late at the Want a Better Website offices, I started experiencing great pain, I believe now that I was passing a kidney stone. I decided at 4:30 a.m. that I should drive home. While driving, I had a car accident, as another symptom of the ailment (a sudden need to vomit without warning) caused me to swerve, hitting the curb and destroying both left tires of the car, not to mention bending the front struts in the impact with the ground. I was hurt, but not more badly then my gut was already feeling.

I used to think that bloggers seemed to post about ridiculous amounts of suffering in their lives. Back then I assumed that this was simply due to exaggeration and making the sorrow up out of thin air. Now I have a completely new theory. Owning a blog causes suffering.
Anybody who has been glancing at my blog on a regular basis knows that particularly the last year of my life has been filled with suffering. Horrible things seem to keep happening to me, usually without any sort of good reason. What is the most recent horrific thing that has happened to me? Yesterday, my laptop was stolen.

Well depending on how you look at it, either yesterday or today is the 10 day mark from when "the letter" was written, and so far the police have not stormed down the door and taken me off in cuffs. On the other hand, I have not received word that they believe me from the DA's office yet either. They did receive my letter.

As most of you who know me well know, I've had a great deal of difficulty lately with the fact that some checks from a long time closed checking account have gotten into the hands of some vagrants who have decided to go on a several month shopping spree in my name. Last thursday I received a letter from the Tarrant County DA(District Attorney) office stating that if I didn't pay off the balance of 6 of those checks within 10 days a warrant would be put out for my arrest.
What follows is the events of Thursday through today in regards to what has happened thusfar in this case.
