Addicting Website

Today in class (yes, on a Saturday - snow days aren't free in law school), we had a speaker come in to talk about the various forms of technology available to attorney's to access discoverable information or evidence. While discussing methods to retrieve files from computers, the speaker pointed us to the website - www.enronexplorer.com. Here is the description of what the website provides:

In October 2003 the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission placed 200,000
of Enron's internal emails from 1999-2002 into the public domain as part of its ongoing investigations. The archive offers an extraordinary window into the lives and preoccupations of Enron's top executives during a turbulent period. Read more about Enron's demise on Wikipedia. Trampoline engineers used this data as testbed during development of the company's SONAR technology. The result was so fascinating we decided to open it up and allow anyone to dig in. The Enron Explorer lets you investigate the actions and reactions of Enron's senior management team as the noose began to tighten.

As you can guess, I spent the rest of class prying into the lives of various former Enron employees. However, it made me realize how many emails I've written that I probably wouldn't want published in the future...

Enjoy!
