Bar and Grill Singers
By Jim Calloway on
The Bar and Grill Singers are an all-lawyer musical review group. They provided entertainment for our Oklahoma Bar Solo and Small Firm Conference this past Friday and the attendees absolutely loved them. In addition to the very funny lyrics of their songs set to familar tunes, they are just excellent singers. I’m naming their website…
Site of the Week: Oklahoma Almanac online (Free)
By Jim Calloway on
As a young lawyer, one of my early "finds" was the Directory of Oklahoma. The book was later renamed the Oklahoma Almanac. This thick book was published every other year by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. It contains a wealth of information about our state, local government, geography and such. I always loved having…
Site of the Week: Simply Google

Yes, he may well be the first law student to garner academic credit for blogging. His sorted collection of many blawg names…
Site of the Week: Trumba.com
By Jim Calloway on
Last week I featured 30 Boxes, the online calendar. Since then several people directed my attention to another online calendar, Trumba, which gets the nod for this week’s Website of the Week. Trumba has many advanced features like RSS Newsfeeds and subscribing to e-mail alerts. But a couple of features really caught…
Site of the Week: 30 Boxes
By Jim Calloway on
30 Boxes is a nifty free Web 2.0 calendaring application. It is an online calendar you can share with certain others or make public. It may not be appropriate for a lawyer’s calendar or for a single trying to date several people without the others finding out. But it might well be appropriate for a…
Site of the Week: Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools
By Jim Calloway on
I have to admit it is a little more difficult to do a Website of the Week in the weeks leading up our presentation of 60 Sites in 60 Minutes for ABA TECHSHOW 2006. I’ve got to hold a few back. So, I decided to look at last year’s 60 Sites for a few…
