I have mentioned before, as a small business owner in the technology sector, that the current patent system is my greatest concern. I have mentioned that I feel that it retards innovation by allowing lawsuits against too many innovators that don't have huge financial reserves to pay for large numbers of vague patents to protect them from competitors.
I would like to bring to your attention this article in the Wall Street journal, that expresses similar sentiments. Quoting: "Our patent system [is] a disincentive at a time when we expect software and other technology companies to be the growth engine of the economy."

Many of my stories and poems are in the "Daily Fiction" area. Currently I've set up "Daily Fiction" to rotate through my stories and poems. Some stories and poems will be added to the reading list each day at random. Also, each day some will be removed temporarily.
I have also set up a new page for one of my hobbies, Vrainet RPG.
Stories and poems are not all I have. I've had a lot of fun writing games, mods to popular games and other computer programs, for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Currently, I focus on Java applications. Check out the free software link to see more!
What else could there be?" You ask.
I have a whole bunch of APIs, Tutorials and demos too. The Programming site covers some C, C++, Objective-C, Java and lots of other topics.
