I'm so excited to have the chance to teach you some basic Photoshop tips and tricks in the Geek Lab at BlogHer! If you need to know how to get started fixing and preparing photos for your blog, please join me in Geek Lab Beginner 3b at 3:30 on Friday, July 24.

Is the Supreme Court of the United States guilty of sex discrimination? Law blogs are buzzing about the fact that of the 37 Supreme Court law clerks this year, only 7 are women. A Supreme Court clerkship following law school is the plum of all clerkships, and is often a free pass to any law job following the temporary clerkship. Supreme Court justices pick their own clerks, usually on the basis of academic achievement in law school. I went to Stanford Law years ago, and you couldn't have convinced me then or now that many of the women there were less worthy of a Supreme Court clerkship than their male classmates. Shame, shame on the Supremes!
