Q. What happens when a duck?
A. Nothing, just a duck.
Q. What happens when a duck, again?
B. Reducks.
"Hello, World" from the glamorous foreign shores of PowerBlogs. I'll be blogging here from now on, I suspect; Blogger's free and all, but it's unstable, limited, got a squinky (technical term) interface, and I want to explore the possibilities of Post Chaining and the other powerful tools PowerBlogs (henceforth Powerblogs) boasts. So: Blogger delenda est.
As background information, you can click here for the previous Unused & Probably Unusable site on Blogger. U & PU is, was, and will be a blawg, meaning a "law blog" - one written by a lawyer (or law student, or law professor, but I'm a lawyer) or otherwise covering the law or legal topics.
As a reminder, which should be unnecessary on the web, I'm a lawyer but not Your Lawyer. This is not a site intended to give or offer legal advice, freely or otherwise; if you need a lawyer, feel free to say so, but I can't guarantee that anyone will respond helpfully. This is not part of my job, this is my hobby.
If you happen to be in Philadelphia and need a lawyer and can't afford one or don't know how to look for one, please call the following number: (215) 238-6333. (click below for more information)
As before, I anticipate opening comments to all, but would love to respond directly if you are registered with powerblogs or have an (anonymous is fine) email address and want to converse at more length on any topic you read about here.

The page rank thing - so that all of my hits come from my new address? But even so, there's still the ambiguity between http:// etc. and http://www.etc.
Well, can't be helped. Everybody, use the one without the unnecessary WWW.
Oh, question for anyone out there: as I look at this page, the Header looks crunched; the words Unused and Probably Unusable seem to be sliced in half.
Has anyone heard of or seen this problem before? Is it something I can fix on my end, a template issue? Or am I just seeing things?
And I've got to ask you - where the heck did you pick up the duck joke? I mean.. really???!! :D Sounds like a real erhmmm engineer joke..erhmmm... *shuffling feet*
But don't think this gets you off the hook for posts.
I'm eager to read that Scalia comment you've promised.
More seriously, it's Just Not Done Yet. Other folks - Balkin, Reason.com, Crime &Federalism, others - have done some of the heavy lifting on my most obvious points (Scalia's jurisprudence has some weak spots/ points open to criticism that he seldom publicly acknowledges, he's prone to invoking federalism when it suits him but he's less principled on the state/federal line than he says he is, and what he does isn't always what he says he does), and I'd like to incorporate links into the Thing.
If you whinge loudly enough, I might let you see the double super-secret background notes I've assembled thus far; my outline, if you will. In fact, that might be a good idea; your reaction might tell me whether I'm being too doctrinaire, too general, too wordy, or other such problems.
Ok, we'll work out details later, when I'm awake.
Page Rank (PR) ranges from 1-10 and it's the weight Google gives your page. The higher the PR, the more likely someone who Googles a search term will find your sight. Your PR increases as, among other things, outgoing links increase. Anyhow, I had a good PR at my old C&F blog (a Blogger blog), but left because Blogger sucks.(!) Anyhow, I had to lose the juice I got from all of those links when I moved.
You'll get links, but because you started with a good service early on, you won't need to move. Thus, your PR won't unnecessarily suffer. Have fun.
