Last week was busy in a good way. Over the weekend and through Tuesday, I was at Northern Frontier camp with my older son. We had a blast shooting air rifles, launching model rockets, jumping off the thirteen-foot high dive, singing goofy campfire songs, and reading the Bible together. This is what it’s all about.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, I took the GRE, as I’m hoping to apply to some Ph.D. programs this year. As expected, I crushed the verbal section — over 700, probably a 90th percentile score — but my math, shall we say, needs some work. The programs I’m looking at most seriously are the Communication and Culture program at NYU, which has a strong focus on Internet-related legal and regulatory issues, and the political science program at CUNY. Both of those are things I could do while in my current academic post. I was thinking as well of the public policy programs at Princeton, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get the math score where it needs to be for that. I’ll have to talk with some people and see if I need a better math score for the NYU and CUNY programs I’m considering.<\/p>\n
I also worked hard late in the week to finalize a draft of my latest paper, “The Penguin’s Paradox: the Political Economy of International Intellectual Property and the Paradox of Open Intellectual Property Models.” It’s now out to the law reviews, so we’ll see if I get any publication nibbles.<\/p>\n
I played golf Friday at Wild Turkey and had a pretty good round for me, especially on the front nine — I broke 100, though barely and with a hole or two where I took a mullligan.<\/p>\n
Now, we’re at the Jersey shore for a week, reading, swimming with the kids, and relaxing. Thank God for summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
