http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,198860,00.html Florida Judge Orders Lawyers to Settle Dispute With Rocks, Paper, Scissors I hope there's a follow-up article covering the outcome! Awesome catch Eric. I try posting crazy news when I can, but I didn't even see this one.

I am Jeremy Helms, 27 year old graphic designer, web designer, site architect, programmer, copywriter and ambitious entrepreneur. I was born and live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. This site is my personal periodical for design, code, business and other topics. When I'm not glued to the computer, I enjoy music, movies, late-night television and sometimes a good night out on the town with friends.
I began professional work in the IT industry 12 years ago in September, 1995. I started my first business in 1998, incorporated my second business in 2001, my third in 2002 and my fourth and most recent in 2006. I am a sponge — I am constantly exploring and learning — about business, design, programming, history, society, and whatever pops up on blogs across the web.
