There have already been one or two rumblings in the blogosphere, but it has today been announced that a “feasibility study” (o dread management speak!) is being launched into the possibility of a merger between Inner and Middle Temple libraries.

I’m conflicted by my wanting to support the free law movement, and the disrupting use of libraries in this story. Small price to pay? or should disrupting public library services be off limits and contrary to Mr. Malamud’s mission?

While I’m here, Ben Goldacre of Bad Science fame has been hit by a takedown notice after posting an audio file of the ignorant blatherings of an LBC radio DJ on MMR vaccinations. Should any media lawyers be reading, I’m sure he’d appreciate some advice!

Now here is a challenge…potentially. I’ve been asked to investigate whether there are any applications/tools that will display you contacts visually . In other words rather then a contacts list in word or a list of contacts in Outlook you can look at photos or pictures of your contacts and drill down into more information, does anyone know if such a tool exists?
