But, as I often lament, technology (computers, in particular) seems to rob me of more time than it saves me. Which is why I particularly&#160;[<a href="http://jchap.com/blog/?p=106">&#160;&#8230;read the rest&#8230;&#160;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 13 I was one of four speakers at an oil and gas seminar in Overland Park, Kansas, put on by Half Moon Seminars. It had been nearly 30 years since I was a seminar speaker. With 40+ attendees it was considered a &#8220;sellout&#8221;, which surprised me. I didn&#8217;t think there could be enough&#160;[<a href="http://jchap.com/blog/?p=101">&#160;&#8230;read the rest&#8230;&#160;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 80&#8242;s and 90&#8242;s (and earlier but that was before my time) we had oil and gas leases that contained mostly &#8220;boilerplate&#8221; clauses. People often referred to a standard &#8220;Producer&#8217;s 88&#8243; lease. There were, actually, dozens of variations on the so-called &#8220;Producer&#8217;s 88&#8243;, but the variations were mostly a matter of which boilerplate&#160;[<a href="http://jchap.com/blog/?p=86">&#160;&#8230;read the rest&#8230;&#160;]</a>]]></description>

Recently I noticed some organizations Twittering like mad. Prior to these, I was getting a lot of Facebook friend requests. Before all of those I had to actually set spam filters specifically for MySpace, thanks to all the babes wanting to make contact with&#160;[<a href="http://jchap.com/blog/?p=77">&#160;&#8230;read the rest&#8230;&#160;]</a>]]></description>

Yes, I know, it&#8217;s a rhetorical question. I&#8217;ve observed that time has really accelerated the older I&#8217;ve become, but this is getting ridiculous!

Jim Pryor has been a client since the early 80&#8242;s, and another company of his, Pryor Oil Company, has had a website for a few years. I probably have other clients with websites, but not sites that were made by yours truly.

Who would imagine that every time they draw up an assignment of an undivided fractional interest they should think about securities law? Well, they should.

A commenter asked how to get a career started in oil and gas law. A couple things come to mind.
