Blog-O-Rama
With their observant mind, keen eye for details, gift of gab and dexterity with words, add lawyers to the growing list of professionals who blog in their spare time. Such is the case with Paul Santos, who considers himself a "non-practicing attorney." He owns and manages the Picture City chain of digital shops and simply calls himself The Unlawyer. With his hectic schedule, it's a wonder how he still gets the energy to write, posting as many as 78 entries in a month. He still sees himself blogging five years from now.
