Blawg of the Day - Keep Home Your Own
It's refreshing to find blogs with titles that are more creative than "the [insert state name here] [insert practice area here] blog," and Keep Home Your Own is one of such blog. It provides insight and commentary for people at risk of losing their home through no fault of their own, and it's published by Richard Rubin of the Garden City, NY firm of Rubin & Licatesi. Much of the content deals with loan modification, foreclosure, mortgages, and tax credits.

New features from Google Docs
Want to grab the text from a PDF and throw it into a Google Doc? Well, now you can. When you upload PDF files to Google Docs, you'll now have the ability to convert text from PDFs or even images and store the text in a Google Docs document. It's not a perfect process, and there are definitely more efficient ways of doing this if you have to OCR (many people have turned the term Optical Character Recognition into a verb) a large number of documents.

Catching Up with The Kennedy-Mighell Report
Over the past few weeks Dennis Kennedy and I have recorded two episodes of The Kennedy-Mighell Report, on two topics near and dear to our hearts. In "A Podcast Listener's Guide," we offer some practical advice on how to subscribe to podcasts (in iTunes or your favorite music device), as well as some suggestions for the right podcasts to select. This past week, we released "The Siteless Web Presence," where we discuss whether a lawyer or firm can exist online without a website or blog, and simply through a presence on various social media sites (my answer: you can't, really). Head over to the Legal Talk Network and give them a listen - and then
subscribe to the podcast!
