Business Card Display Holder Ideas
We talk a lot about business cards around here, from distinguishing them to students, finding unique cards, and legal card ideas. But what about business card display? What kind of cool business card holders do you use?
Business card display on your car
A neat idea that I recently saw is pictured here. A car had typical lettering on the back window (selling solar panels, I believe). But it also had a built-in business card holder: the wiper blade!
The wiper blade had simple “take one” labels …
Join Professional Organizations Early
When you join a new profession, it’s important to consider what professional organizations to join. And do this early! I’m going through this process right now, so here are a few things I’m considering.
Plan long term
Don’t just think of yourself as having a job. Plan for your long term career. What organizations might be helpful as that career evolves? Where might you make contacts who could help with job leads in the future?
Don’t forget local
In our global society, it’s easy to forget that we live in a smaller community. Your town and state probably …
BigContacts Will Super-Size Your Contacts
My new job is going to be heavy with networking, meeting people, and connecting with others. So I need a killer system to track all of this activity. That’s what got me searching for a strong contact manager.

BigContacts is the most robust, powerful, but simple contact manager I’ve ever used. It can track everything you ever wanted to know about a contact, email them, send …
Links – Facebook Hate Groups, Quicken Question
I hope you’re having a good Sunday. No matter what your religious beliefs, hopefully Sundays are a time for relaxing and connecting with loved ones.

Facebook = Elder Hate (via Stephanie West Allen) – Stephanie pointed me to this insightful article about hate groups on Facebook. Sadly, I verified that these exist, and the comments are horrid. I also found other hate groups, including some against women. Very sad.

41 Reasons Why Craigslist Kills Classifieds
One way to increase your productivity is to purge unneeded items. And a great way to do that is by selling them. Clear out some space and earn some extra cash all at once. Who doesn’t like that?!
Local classifieds suck
We’re moving in a week, so we decided to sell some furniture that we no longer needed. I carefully photographed the items, wrote a short description for each one, and selected a low asking price.
I posted ads in our three local papers. One is the main paper, while the other two are weekly publications. The …
I’m a Professional, Now What?
For the past 25 years, I’ve been a kid. During most of that time, I was a student. I’ve had my share of jobs, but they were all just stepping stones to the future.
But now I’m a professional. I have a JD. I just took the Virginia bar exam. I start my first, permanent, full-time job on August 6. I’m not a licensed attorney yet, but I’m definitely part of the professional adult world.
What do I do now?
I’ve been pondering this day for a while. And the full implications probably haven’t even hit …
Facebook Isn’t Private, and 7 Other Things You Should Know
If you have a computer, you’re probably on Facebook. You’re networking with friends, adding personal details, storing your email address & cell phone number, uploading pictures, and much more.
But have you bothered to read Facebook’s Terms of Service (“TOS”) or Privacy Policy? What legal relationship have you agreed to? Who has access to your data and personal details?
Thanks to Chris Brogan, I started asking these questions. Then I waded through their terms and policies. Here are some things I found.
1. The terms can change any time
This is probably standard for a website’s …
Best Legal Business Card Ideas
I have a small fascination with business cards (here, here, here, and here). They’re ubiquitous in our world, and they’re also garbage to many people. But I think they can be so much more. That’s why I wanted to share some great business card designs with you (a couple were discussed by Susan Cartier Liebel).
Legal advice on the back
As Larry Bodine illustrates, a criminal …
Network with Solo and Small Firm Lawyers
Now that I’m actually on the cusp of being a real attorney, I’m on the lookout for networking opportunities. I’ve already got my job nailed down, but I definitely want to know other lawyers and make solid connections.
Thus, I’m delighted to have joined Solosez. It’s the American Bar Association’s network devoted to solo and small firm practitioners. The cool thing is that anyone can join.
The main benefit of Solosez is the awesome list serve, hosted by the ABA. I’ve seen a ton of great information go through that list, and I’ve only been …
A Great, Unsuspected, Viral Video
Thanks to Jennifer’s post at Search Engine Guide, I watched this awesome viral video.
Although I used to detest marketers in general, I’ve become really interested in leveraging technology to spread a message. This is where YouTube has incredible power.
Before I say more, watch this video. It’s only two minutes of your life. It’ll amaze you!
Why don’t lawyers do things like this? The typical personal injury ad is embarrassingly stupid (“call me, I’m the Tough …
