Insane. That's almost as clever as staging a world cup in Qatar. I think part of the tailgate/pre-match festivities should include frying an egg on the sidewalk or car hood, a fairly manageable feat at 110F. But, don't get me wrong ... I'll be there.

Jeff, So glad to see you found the ILTA/InsideLegal Technology Purchasing survey useful and the data beneficial. JoAnna and I have been collaborating with ILTA on this survey and the PDF report for many years but try really hard to keep the data fresh and relevant. Case in point, adding tablet/iPad questions this year and cloud computing specifics a few years back. I can tell you that ILTA Nashville was buzzing with 'iPad talk' and the chatter around 'the consumerization of IT' (AKA I want an iPad and use it at the firm!)is becoming pretty loud. We are always looking to freshen up this survey and welcome ideas and thoughts on new questions, as they pertain to tablets and beyond, so please reach out if you have any thoughts. We have about 10 months before we get going on the next one. Cheers, Jobst Elster (InsideLegal's Head of Content) [Jeff responds: You did a great job with the survey this year!]
