I had some online CPE courses to do the other day. As a lawyer, it is mandatory that we take continuing professional education. Online CPE courses are fantastic, because I usually get do attend on my own schedule. There are some courses which are available live only, nearly the same as a regular course taken at a college except conducted over the internet, taking advantage of that medium’s exponentially greater reach but little else.

But these are quite the exception, and typically only available this way due to copyright concerns. I generally avoid these kinds of continuing professional education courses unless the lecturer happens to be some hot-shot lawyer or the material is especially interesting to me.

To me, the advantage of online CPE courses is how it is possible to go at one’s personal pace. And as a third-year associate at one of the largest corporate law firms in the world, believe me when I say how much I appreciate that convenience! I work sixty to seventy-hour weeks, including weekends of course, and that’s not even considering all the years of studying I’ve already gone through: by now I have twenty-some-odd years of schooling – significantly much more than two whole thirds of my life!

So anything at all that lets me take it easy a little is most desired, and being able to pursue continuing professional education over the worldwide web makes a bad situation a little better.

I mean, I really do not want to do it – but it’s a requirement for periodic relicensing as an attorney, and I’m not ready to quit the profession just yet, if ever – so being able to at least take my time with it takes some of the onerousness out of it all. Plus, sometimes it is free if it is a pilot course, an experimental course for which I receive free CPE credits in exchange for providing some feedback, making things even less onerous!

Ah, a portable ice maker. At last, a sure-fire way of keeping cool when out of doors under a hot summer sun. You have a picnic, or a outdoor camping trip, or even just a small get-together in the backyard and do not wish to keep running back inside for ice – you need a portable ice maker.

It’ll not only save you trips and hassle, but save you from such things as running out of ice all of a sudden. Having one of these niffty little marvels of modern engineering will prevent you from looking like a bad thoughtless host. And nothing beats a portable ice maker at the beach! Like, booyeah.

It’s just what you want when enjoying the landscapes. It could even be a great conversation starter. Forget about helping to apply suntan lotion – give her the gift of perfectly shaped ice cubes and see what happens next! No, really, it works (with some individuals, but not all). After all, the water’s salty – but fresh ice cubes? Come one, you’ll be the king of the beach.

Make sure you get one with helpful functions such as a low water light to remind you of refills. Some versions will even reuse melted water right back into ice cubes. Make sure to get the capacity you will need, too. Portable ice makers are fairly straightforward machines so you should have no trouble finding one that’s just right.

Take one to your next tailgating party. Need one for your RV? Portable ice makers are practically essential on boats. These devices are helpful in a number of situations. When in the market for one, you may find that the most essential aspect of your purchase is simply the choice of color! That’s how simple it is to buy one, because that’s how straightforward they have become these days.
