My first post after final exams is sort of a cheat. But it’s good info. Also, I’m going to try to keep all future posts short because, as most of you know, I first started blogging as a mircoblogger on Twitter – follow me!

Here’s a copy of an email I received regarding the American Bar Association’s 2009 Tech Show. This also is a chance for Twittering Lawyers and other technology professionals to Tweet Up in Chicago!

I’m registered. I look forward to seeing/ meeting you there. Free USB drive if you go!
