I Want an iPhone
If you’re a regular reader of 203, you’ll remember my Global Constitutionalism Seminar post in which I talked about the staggering array of visitors, many of them leaders within the legal profession, who pass through the doors of the Law School. What many people don’t realize is that the School also plays host to many notable guests from outside the legal field, like Tom Friedman, author and columnist for the New York Times, and Yul Kwon, YLS alumnus and winner of last season’s Survivor: Cook Islands. You can view their talks here: Friedman and Kwon. Some guests come at the invitation of the Law School while others visit for University functions that are held at the School because of its beautiful facilities and central location.
David Pogue visited at the end of September. David is a Yale alumnus, the personal technology columnist for the New York Times, and a technology correspondent for CBS News. You might remember him from one of his blog postings that received a lot of attention this summer: iPhone: The Musical. David visited the campus as a Poynter Fellow in Journalism and gave a talk/show-and-tell at the Law School on the latest high-tech gadgets to pass across his desk. You can view his talk online at the University’s Office of Public Affairs website. Unfortunately, the University still uses RealMedia as its streaming video format, so you may need to download RealPlayer. Maybe they need to spend some more time with David.
