What’s New with Wu

Cambridge is meant to have fancy dress parties and I guess they came through. Pictured here is my mother and me, and Andy Klein who teaches torts at Indiana in the background.

I’m in England with the Wu family for Christmas.

My mother is a fellow at Clare Hall at Cambridge, and has joined the rowing team here. Despite being a little north of 60, she manages to hold her own with the students … Must be all the yoga.  She’s in position 5 here (5 from the bow).

Maybe when I’m 63 I’ll pick up varsity wrestling or something.

Altlaw is getting better and better — check it out!

- Supreme Court coverage back to the beginning

- Courts of appeals back to the 1970s

- Streamlined, better searching

At this rate we’ll be ready to leave BETA early next year, and release version 1.0.

Credit need be given to Stuart Sierra, of course, but also to Tim Stanley and his gang at Justica.

I have a deal memo with Alfred A. Knopf, part of the Random House Group, to write a book!

Its the “Net Neutrality book,” roughly, but with much more to it than just the last 5 years. At its most ambitious its a book on the whole point of U.S. Media & Communications policy –
There are many exciting things about Knopf: but one is how many of my favorite writers they publish, especially in fiction, including Ishiguro, Murakami, GG Marquez, John Updike, and others –

Yes I know I am not a novelist — but to be anywhere vaguely close to those writers is just exciting.
