The light was just right this morning as Howard and I sat eating breakfast on the 10th floor of the Logan Airport Hilton. For the last few days, I’ve been carrying a Blackberry Pearl, which is equipped with a camera. Even though it’s a lowly 1.3 megapixal camera, I was pretty pleased with this result.
I’ll have more to say on the Pearl later, but it’s shaping up to be my favorite Blackberry yet, and perhaps my chosen phone moving forward.Â

Over the last couple of months, Toronto lawyer Suzi Dingwall-Williams seems to have found a niche that the blogging world has overlooked. Her blog, Venture Law Lines, dishes up a daily stew of practical advice for entrepreneurs in the area of law — employment, financing, investment, and so on. Plus, she’s funny as hell.
In Series A: Making every day Like Christmas for your lawyers she challenges the legal opinion requirement that many series A investors impose on entrepreneurs at financing. She argues it offers little comfort, and can radically increase the closing costs. I would also add that early rounds are small, but closing costs don’t typically scale with the amount of money raised. Having paid tens of thousands of dollars in closing costs at iotum, any savings here are welcome.Â
Go read Suzi’s stuff. Whether you’re wondering about the size of your option pool, or whether corduroy is a fashion statement, she’s got the answers.
