Mio Bloggo Italiano

Aren't there devices that can tell you where they are free wireless points to be found? If I ever live in a city, I'm going to need one of those, as once again, finding free wireless access in Boston is somewhat akin to jumping through a series of flaming hoops. We were wandering around in the North End for some time, and finally found a usable network in the Cafe della Sporta (maybe the fact that I'm mentioning them online will offset the fact that I'm sitting in their Cafe blogging, and not buying anything.

This morning, we went to another court case for a little while. This time it was armed robbery. We saw testimony from the victim, and a police officer who was around. The attorneys weren't kind of dumb this time around, and it was neat.

Then we went to Boston City Hall (which, for the record, is the ugliest building ever concieved by man), and talked with a bunch of people from their legal department (it started out as one lawyer, then three, then five, and it maxed out at nine). It was pretty interesting, talking to lawyers who aren't BMW-driving pinstripe-wearing millionaires, apparently civil service law is rewarding, but not particularly lucrative. It was cool though, we got to find out what sort of legal issues a city can find itself emboiled (is that a word?) in.

I'd love to talk mnore, but there are other people who have to blog and the people who run the Cafe are probably going to kick us out if we don't buy anything.
