The bank no longer holds my Tacoma title; I paid the remaining $5.77 of the loan off on Friday. It's all mine! First, the tacoma—then the world! MOOHAHAH

I think I have entered patent hell.

Any idea what the title of this post means? Apparently it describes what I've invented. Still confused? Perhaps this figure will provide some illumination:

Figure 4: OMGWTFBBQ!?

I swear I didn't remove any labels or anything from that flow chart; that's how it appears in the application. A patent application company is helping my collaborators and I to prepare our app. They took a signal flow diagram I had made which was basically self-explanatory and made the above megacluster.

This is my first foray into patent-land, and I must say that it is a dark and thoroughly disturbing place.

Since almost breaking my ankle in July, I haven't really been getting much exercise. I started playing handball again (with an ankle brace on) this past week, though my performance is significantly degraded. I've been missing mountain climbing this summer so Andy and I went out on an easy climb this weekend to test out my ankle's response to scree and what-not. We successfully reached the summit of Conejo Peak in the southern San Juan Mountains of Colorado. At 13,172', it's reasonably high, but we started at 11,600' and only hiked a total of 5.7 miles round trip... so it was a short trip. Ankle performed well and we got lucky with the weather.

Some pictures.
