    Hello,

    Nice work on the Singularity Law Podcast; I am looking forward to listening to all the back episodes in my car on the way to law school this fall. I have been selected as a finalist in a scholarship contest for my YouTube video “Law v Tech: The Inspiring Faceoff” (youtube.com/watch?v=gwYicJedEE4). I don’t really mean to be a vote grubber, but I thought you might enjoy it. I even made a reference to the technological singularity (though mostly as a joke since I don’t know many folks will be aware of Vinge or Kurzweil, etc.) Anyway, thanks for your work on this blog and podcast.

    Kind regards,
    William Jacobson
