Daily Success January 27 – Very Good. That was a bit of a surprise, but a pleasant one. A good day for exercise with the bike having been featured.

Yesterday

Yesterday was a hot mess even though I got a good score. The IP issues with Sam are taking far more time than doing anything else. He seems to feel that my IP is his and he’s being nice by sharing it with me. At this point, I don’t think I can work with the guy.

On the bright side, Monika worked on my knee and back. It seems to be helping.

Today

Today started about 3 AM. I couldn’t sleep. Outrage over Sam’s handling of our business relationship just kept bubbling up. I finally got up and wrote a letter to DARPA that, if mailed, will end Sam’s SAGEbot contract before it begins. I’ve asked Allen to show it to Vince with the question “do you guys want this mailed?”

There is another one for SurveyorBot that will run along the same model. The Government takes IP issues and proprietary data claims very, very seriously and Sam’s decision to use my IP without having to agree to pay me for it will not go over well.

The rest of today will probably include a nap to make up for the hours before 7 AM or so. We shall see. And working on some content for my YouTube channel. And some quality time in the gym.

The Future

The knee and leg feel less bad than usual today, something that I attribute to both Monika’s continued work and better weather. Less bad, but not “good.” And with Sam unresolved, the future looks murky indeed.
