From the column “When You Were Cooler”

When You Were Cooler: Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

It's a big blue watery road. And after undergrad, rather than joining the cast of Deadliest Catch, Jess Bernfeld (2L), decided to research one of the more obscure aspects of commerce on the high seas: secondary registers.

For Those Who Used To Rock, We Salute You

For those of you new to the column, When You Were Cooler is a window into the way the cool kids lived. Note that I said lived - here at WYWC we focus exclusively on what your classmates did prior to losing their coolness by coming here.

Saying that, I'm fully aware that very few of you have crowd surfed. But I digress.

And I don't know about you, but I'm a little concerned about the antitrust implications of a monopoly in the search engine and everything-else-related-to-technology market, so I am doing my bit to promote competition).
