updated: the link below is to the actual patent declaration at the uspto — only click if it’s okay for you to look. lori pointed out that some employers don’t want folks to look at actual patents… check it out. brian, mike & i were just issued another patent for work at reactivity. that makes it a couple for my work at reactivity, and 3 for work at apple, notably, all alongside mike hanson.

fwiw, you might want to put a warning before that link. I clicked it without thinking, and then had a total freakout when I realized I was looking at the text of an actual patent — on my work machine. we’re not supposed to look at patents or do patent research of any kind. that’s done by the patent attorneys where I work. (yes, it was dumb of me to look, but I was excited for you and forgot about the policy until I read the first couple words of the abstract.) =:o
