Lenovo iPad?

We have a number of iPads in our house. In fact, Josh, our 3 year old, uses an iPad all the time. Tonight I was using my Lenovo ThinkPad in the living room. I almost never use a laptop at home. Josh came up to me and asked - "Where did you get that iPad." It was a funny moment as I tried to explain this was a laptop (not an iPad) and I got it from K&L Gates. He was very confused why the touch screen did not work.

Dr. Pepper 20?

Have you seen those Dr. Pepper Ten commercials? They are a little controversial because they say that Dr. Pepper Ten is a diet cola that is not for women. They also make it clear that it is a cola with "10 bold tasting calories."

This is the bottle.

Notice that a serving size is one bottle.

However, it is really odd that a single bottle has 20 calories.

Shawn Named as a Texas Super Lawyer

I found out this week that I was named as a Rising Star Texas Super Lawyer for the 3rd time. This year I was one of 4 lawyers in Texas named in the technology / outsourcing area. One of the others, Ryan Preston, is a K&L Gates lawyer in the office right next to me! Ryan is a great guy and a terrific lawyer. We have half the market. :-)
