PLAYING CATCHUP....

1. Alan Rothman, who has been a fixture in the NYC tech scene, has launched a new blog, called The Subway Fold.

I first met Rothman when we were both active with ALM's infant Counsel Connect online service, the predecessor to law.com. He's a smart, thoughtful fellow, so welcome to the blawgosphere!

I've been busy yelling at Kevin Brown in Anaheim, so here's Bob Ambrogi's writeup of Rothman's inaugural posts.

And here's Bob's explanation of the moniker, for you non-New Yorkers:

"Alan's blog is named for the maneuver that allows broadsheet-sized newspapers to be read on crowded NYC subways. His intent is "to analogously gather, post and comment upon smaller samplings of news, trends, resources and connections therein across a range of topics in technology, science, law, business and media."

2. The vivacious Marilyn Astin Tarlton, known among the tech-heads as editor-in-chief of Law Practice Management magazine (of the ABA Law Practice Mgmt section) has accepted a new gig. She's now chief marketing officer of Jacobs Chase Frick Kleinkopf & Kelley, a Denver firm with 32 attorneys and 30 support staff, specializing in lit, real estate, and corporate practice. Congrats!
