New Peoria blogger off to a good start
The blog is called Pointlessly Hypertechnical. It’s a personal weblog sorta blog, not a pundit sorta blog. She’s had four posts up in as many days, so she seems to have something, although she says she was fighting the urge to start blogging, but …
Then, I got a sign, a nudge, and a push. A judge recently called one of my legal arguments “pointlessly hypertechnical” in a written opinion. It made me laugh and has become my own personal motto every since. (I’m thinking about having T-Shirts made.) It is a true comment on my personality – I have a tendency to be hypertechnical. Some people would call it more than a tendency, but since this isn’t their blog, it doesn’t really matter what they think. And I am willing to concede that, sometimes, my hypertechnicality can border on pointless. In the moment, however, I always believe I am being hypertechnical for a good reason.
And since she links to Peoria Pundit already, she’s demonstrated good taste.
