    Happy Holiday

    Hope It Has Been a Good One… And that you are not one of the millions trapped in airports. And are not doing Trains, Planes, and Automobiles to get home. What do two writers do on Christmas Eve? We worked for some hours this morning in our offices, then Kris went out for a run and I walked to our favorite pizza place to meet her. That’s right, wonderful pizza. And a wonderful walk home together. Then into this office to work some more, watch the Raider’s figure out a way to lose once again, them more time back in the office before I cooked us a steak dinner. Kris…

    A Cat Post

    With Angel Sitting On My Lap… Posting cat pictures from the past… Why not? With half the country stuck in airports or in homes without power, a few cute cat pictures can’t hurt. Enjoy the holiday and stay safe out there. First up, Angel sitting on my lap as I get ready to record a workshop video.   Second up… Gavin (orange kitten) and Suzie, (living with the Yorks for the moment}. Gavin grew into those ears and is now 20 pounds. Grubby who was way way overweight and not bright, but a love of a cat. Spike, my special guy. Still miss him. First appearance of Cheeps… Cheeps, so…

    Kris and I Married 30 Years Today

    So We Spent Most of the Day Working and Writing…. Which is what we do. However, we eventually got done and headed out to look at the magnificent holiday decorations at the Bellagio. And then we went down to Mandalay Boy Hotel and Convention Center to have pizza. Way too much pizza and desert, so we spent the next hour just walking and getting our exercise steps. Then home to watch Slow Horses. 30 Years. Wow. We mostly celebrate from the day we met in 1986, but 30 years married is something to mark. It was a fun ceremony on the top of a hill in the middle of our…

    Intellectual Property Valuation Basics

    Some Basics Before Moving On… The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has laid out some basics when it comes to putting a value on IP. So I am just going to quote a few of those from their web site here for the purpose of education. First off, an IP must have exclusivity. WIPO says: “The value of an IP asset essentially comes from the right the owner of that asset has to exclude competitors from using it. For an IP asset to have a quantifiable value it should: generate a measurable amount of economic benefits to its owner/user; and enhance the value of other assets with which it is…
