saving the world, one post at a time

  • About

    I am an attorney who used to do computer security and application development in house for a large consumer products company. Nothing I say here is in my capacity as anyone's counsel nor is it adopted by or representative of the opinion of my employer.

    My areas of practice are data privacy, data security, patent law, telecommunications, and just about anything technology related. The goal is to focus on these areas but I will most certainly diverge from time to time on some tangent or another.

Brief list of topics

Posted by andy on November 10, 2011

There have been several issues lately that have grabbed my interest.  Here is a list of some of the things you should expect to see discussed in the near future:

  • Cloud computing – a big and buzz-wordy topic these days.  I will try and add my two sense
  • Data Privacy and Security Legislation – there are a bunch of proposals flying around Congress to update privacy laws
  • e-Discovery – the eternal elephant in the room that everyone has to deal with but nobody really likes
  • Data Privacy and breach regulations – thoughts on Gramm-Leach-Bliley, COPPA changes, and state data breach regulations
  • Fourth Amendment – becoming very interesting with recent GPS cases and one of my favorite topics

Once more into the breach…

Posted by andy on November 10, 2011

Well, I’ve tried and false started on this blogging thing a few times.  Now that I have embarked on my career as an attorney (not yet barred, but assuming all went well, soon!) I wanted to create a platform that let me investigate legal topics that are interesting to me and force me to dig a little deeper and learn more about them in order to put together a decent post.

We’ll see how it goes.

All the standard caveats apply – this is my personal site and is not associated in any way with my employer or my employer’s views.  That said, I am going to keep it relatively tame and probably not post anything that mightbe problematic.
