Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 13 years and 7 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

I’m currently sitting in the Jury Selection room of the Pinellas County Criminal Justice Center waiting to be selected for jury duty. There’s no cell reception in here, but at least there’s free WiFi so I can surf the web on my EeePC while I’m waiting.

In a timely coincidence, just yesterday I was listening to episode #222 of East Meets West which had Tom and Roger discussing the merits (and pitfalls) of jury duty and why people tend to shy away from performing their civic duty as citizens of the United States.

That’s about all I want to say about this topic for now … I don’t want to have to write an essay about the constitutional right to a fair trial after all.
