My goodness. Love the StackOverflow concept and community. Used to participate in PHP and legal Q=A forums regularly back in the 1990s. Got lost (disheartened?) in all the JS hysteria, but looking forward to digging into PHP7 deeply. Now, well-tested and documented JS functionality is free, so the heck with that now! Hand-coded working apps back in 1990s as well,--loved that Flash added a visual component, but hated the proprietary goop that made it inaccessible. Geekery saved me from practicing law a long time ago. Love refactoring code,--on like the 10th iteration of my own projects. Love databases, SQL and regular expressions,-- some law-related exploratory projects combine several of these interests. You`ll find me in PHP, law/arbitration, AgileLaw (concept I started) and Japanese fora here mostly. May jump back into blockchain + law + Japan as a super FinTech niche, especially if I can find some pleasant dorks with the same interest. Another area of passion is deriving a new way of looking at law (Law is Social Media) and seeing how the deeper concepts jive with IoT and (especially) blockchain DAO). tried to get profs to look at law through an OOP lens back in the mid-1980s (HAHAHAHAA!!) and through a prism of law as a complex adaptive system (2000s, dito), but they`re coming around now looks like. So, life might get interesting. I`d love to be able to open-source most of my little playthings, so if you`re interested in building things that come from practical support within the practice of law, let me know. No, I don`t use Slack OR Skype. This picture is 6 yrs old. Doesn`t matter.
