I discovered DooID when I saw it being used by the Editor in Chief of London-based blog, TheNextWeb . As you can see from the shot above, the application is cool just to look at, not to mention the fact that it incorporates virtually every social network and blogging platform available. The result is e-mail ready too, so it can readily be added to your existing signature block. Check it out here.
Recently WebWorkerDaily reviewed time and billing app (and Practicehacker sponsor) Chrometa here and gave it rave reviews. But that’s no surprise. WWD had this to say about the program
Most time tracking and management applications require some up front work before you can roll with them, but not Windows app Chrometa. This utility starts working for you as soon as you install it. Running in the background, Chrometa tracks all your computing activities including emails, visits to web sites and open applications. It sorts the activities by application or tool and does it all without you needing to do a thing.
But I’ve known that since I became an alpha tester and true believer in Chrometa last year. I guess the only surprise is that it took this long for the web-based media to “get” Chrometa. Now that they’ve caught up, I wish the Chrometa crew even more success in the future. Go get ‘em guys!
Back in the good old days when bashing BAPCPA was in vogue, I posited here that BAPCPA's "debt relief agency" provisions "look more like an effort to create a consumer bankruptcy lawyer clone who, much like the ever-multiplying Agent Smith from The Matrix-Reloaded, speaks and does precisely as directed with ruthless efficiency." Today's unanimous opinion from Justice Sonia Sotomayor (with concurrences from Justices Scalia and Thomas) tells us not to worry because while attorneys in fact are "debt relief agents" under the Code, §526(a)(4) "prohibits a debt relief agency only from advising a debtor to incur more debt when the impelling reason for the advice is the anticipation of bankruptcy." Milavetz, Gallop & Milavetz, P.A., v. United States, No. 08-1119 (Op. at 13).
As with most bankruptcy decisions from the Supreme Court, the path taken to the holding is more interesting than the actual holding itself. This post examines two aspects of that road:

In a related story, the ABA Journal did not report that anyone was the least bit surprised by the findings.
