New year

I'd tell everyone happy New Year but if you sucked at being happy last year you'll probably suck at being happy this year too. My resolution this year is to let my cynic flag fly.

Today

I'm going nuts. I can't wait to go back to work. I'm never taking time off again.

They are the ones I write a check to every month.

First attempt at trimming the beard. I think it highlights the bags under my eyes.

Morning

Up, coffee, Netflix.good Sunday morning. It is difficult to put a tittle on everything you put on the internet. I fear we have learned to think in titles and not substance. I am depressed every time I think of that.

Begin election day hiatus.

Taking the day off. There's just too much crap going on right now to sit here and not try and talk to the internet. I'll be back in a couple of days. Well, probably after the polls close. I just can't deal with the negativity. Life is hard enough on quiet days.

Software patents and intellectual property

This is awesome and frightening to me at the same time.
The end may be in sight for software patents—which have long been highly controversial in the tech industry—in the wake of a remarkable appeals court ruling that described such patents as a “deadweight loss on the nation’s economy” and a threat to the First Amendment’s free speech protections....Pointing out that intellectual property monopolies can limit free speech, Mayer notes that copyright law has built-in First Amendment protections such as “fair use” and that patent law must include similar safeguards. He suggests that the safeguard comes in the form of a part of the Patent Act, known as “Section 101,” which says some things—including abstract ideas—simply can’t be patented in the first place.

I work for a company that relies heavily HEAVILY on software patents. Personally, I believe in the idea of intellectual property only covering things that move an industry forward and protect the initial investment only of research and development. It has be come a cash cow and is a laughing stock. Something has to be done. I don't want to loose my job though.

I'm torn.

What's up with YouTube?


YouTube is really freaking their players out. They are activating this new terms of service contract. It appears they are trying to run off the people who are making money. That or they are trying to get rid of anyone who has anything controversial to say. Either they don’t want to pay people any longer or they are really going after the jihadi people or Alphabet is going to sell YouTube. I like that last option the best.
