diy
- I roast my own coffee with a Gene Cafe roaster and green beans from Sweet Maria's. I used to use an air roaster.
- I make espresso drinks with an Isomac Venus. I've twice had parts fail over the years (the pump and the 3-way valve), and have had a great experience getting parts from Stefano's Espresso Care. I probably will get around to adapting a PID kit for the Venus one of these days.
- I sometimes make my own bagels.
- I bake bread (but just with a bread machine).
- I occasionally make my own pasta. Sometimes Anders helps.
- I've been known to make ice cream for the 21+ crowd.
- I've made my own maraschino cherries.
- I've made cold-cured smokeless lox.
how to reach me
I'm pretty easy to find. If you don't have my email address, phone number, or postal address, you can find ways to contact me with a quick Google search. You can also find me on Facebook. Or, indeed, on a bunch of other social networking sites, though really Facebook is your best bet.facts of life
- I'm married.
- I have a couple of cute boys.
- There are a bunch of photos you can look at for more details.
law talkin'
- In May 2018, I started my own law firm, Kwun Bhansali Lazarus LLP. You can check out my bio page, or those of the other founding partners, Asim Bhansali and Kate Lazarus.
- Before that, I was at Keker, Van Nest & Peters.
- I worked for the Electronic Frontier Foundation on intellectual property issues.
- I used to manage the litigation group at Google.
- Before that, I spent several years bobbing and weaving in all manner of cases at Keker & Van Nest (now Keker, Van Nest & Peters).
- I clerked for the Honorable Claudia Wilken, a United States District Judge in the Northern District of California.
- If you must know more, you can.
dot-edu
- I got my JD at Berkeley Law.
- My undergraduate degree is from the University of Michigan.
- I did the usual baker's dozen years before that, all in the Okemos Public Schools, culminating with my graduation from Okemos High School in 1987 (I have a collection of photos from my ten year reunion).
professional geek
- Before law school, I was a working geek at IGC, a non-profit, progressive Internet shop that ran PeaceNet and EcoNet.
- While at IGC, I was part of the team that gave the League of Conservation Voters its first web presence, in February 1994. The LCV site was then an oasis of non-geeky content on the Web, in what then was a world of geeky sites and sites about geeks.
- Before that, I spent some time working as a tech support drone for the University of Michigan.
yadda yadda yadda
- I was once some of the news that's fit to print.
- I like to cook.
- I collect quotes that amuse me from case law.
- Many years ago, in what was perhaps my first serious introduction to the concept of adult responsibility, I was part of the Inter-Cooperative Council at the University of Michigan, a student-owned, student-operated corporation that owns and manages a boatload of houses (twenty or so these days). During that time, I learned how cool co-ops are in general, and I learned a lot about the student co-op movement in the U.S. and Canada from the folks at NASCO, the North American Students of Cooperation.
- My hair used to be really long. It also used to be really short.
- I was one of the original supporters of the Amazing Netscape Fishcam.
