Since my last post, yesterday I attended the end of the Day 1 sessions and the evening Techshow After Dark event. Today, I attended sessions on e-discovery, disaster planning, using Internet-based collaboration tools, and computer forensics.

The last one was fun, Craig Ball was looking for a volunteer for someone to give him a USB drive that he would forensically analyze. I gave him one of mine that I was pretty sure was uninteresting, and was relieved to see that was the case after Craig was done. Overall, a good session.

I also enjoyed Tom Mighell and Dennis Kennedy’s talk on the collaboration tools. They’ve written a book on it, which I encourage you to check out.

The “Laptop Lanes” are finally in place here at Techshow 2008, so I am posting this later than planned. The highlight to me so far has been Marc Rotenberg of Epic’s keynote. Tom Mighell did such a good job with the fireside chat portion of the keynote that I only managed to think of one question to ask.

Other sessions I have attended include records management, document management, and law firm data breaches. The last one is a personal favorite of mine, Dave Ries and John Simek always do a great job putting this one together. In past years they’ve had live demos of intrusions in process, but the hypos this year were esoteric enough to make real examples unwieldy.

I’m back off now to the expo hall, looking forward to the afternoon and evening sessions.

I’ll be heading over to the Hilton for ABA Techshow 2008 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week. I am looking forward to catching up with those I’ve met in previous years. If you will be there, please stop me and say hello! I also plan to post somewhat, at least once per day, during the event.

I have enjoyed coming to Techshow as I always learn new things to implement in my practice, as well as to hang out with fellow “geeky lawyers” as my wife would say. It truly is a good event, and it is so nice that it is held here in Chicago.

That aside, I want to point out a must-read post from Dennis Crouch at Patently-O about the blogger formerly known as the Troll Tracker, who has been sued for defamation. Here’s a link to my prior article, which admittedly was written before he unveiled his identity. Dennis provides links to the complaints in his post for those who are so inclined.
