I had a great time at the recent ABA TECHSHOW 2017. Congratulations to Adriana Linares and the whole TECHSHOW team. I would sum up my experience as fun, fun, fun.
If you want more details than that, including the reflections and insights of both Tom Mighell and me, check out the latest episode of
It was 14 years ago today that I brought DennisKennedy.Blog into play.
Back in February 2003, I launched this blog as an early birthday present to myself.
Much has happened over those 14 years. It’s sobering to have a blog that’s a teenager.
The good news is that this year, both my blog and I
Blockchain technology is a topic that interests me greatly. It also is a favorite topic of my occasional co-author, Gwynne Monahan (often better known as @econwriter5 on Twitter). We have talked off and on for a while about collaborating on an article about blockchain tech.
The timing was right a month or two ago when I was asked about writing an article for the January tech-themed article of the ABA’s Law Practice Today.Continue Reading Lawyers Get Ready, There’s a Blockchain Coming

For quite a few years, I’ve enjoyed reading the posts of several bloggers
who are trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks. I’ve also wanted to find a good way for me to keep track of the books I’ve read. And it gives me a good reading target to shoot for.
Last year, I read 59 books. Or, more accurately, I listed 59 books that I read. I “read” many business books in the form of getAbstract summaries and I don’t list books that might reveal certain things I might (or might not) be working on.Continue Reading 52 Books in 52 Weeks – 2017
I didn’t do a lot of posting to my blog in 2016, so I thought I’d do a 2016 wrap-up post to point you to the writing and other work I published in other places.

Allison Shields and I were talking the other day about LinkedIn and whether it was time to write a new edition of our book, LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers. Whether or not it’s time for a new edition, it became clear that we (meaning especially me) were not ready to write it.
However, we did have some ideas for a new article about ways to improve how you add connections on LinkedIn. In it, we would share some new ideas and experiments we had been doing in that area. We decided to write that article and turn it into a bit of a science experiment as well.Continue Reading Six Ways to Jump Start Your LinkedIn Network (New Article)
I recently read Greg McKeown‘s excellent book called Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Lots of good ideas in the book, but the one that has stuck with me is the “quarterly personal offsite meeting.” I’ve also heard this idea mentioned in other blog posts and podcasts.
Count me in.Continue Reading Quarterly Personal Offsite Meetings
One of my favorite writing outlets these days is the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center’s Law Technology Today blog
. I’m a regular participant in a series of monthly roundtable discussions by LTRC board members on technology topics.
Today, the latest of these was posted and it’s called “Finding a Work Life Balance Through Technology.”Continue Reading Tech/Life Balance and Other Law Technology Today Roundtables
I’m excited to point readers to the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center’s 2016 Women of Legal Tech list.
As the announcement says:
One of the American Bar Association’s core values is a commitment to diversity, which the Law Practice Division aims to reinforce in the legal tech sector. This year, approximately 30% of the
