Spoke with a litigator who is licensed to practice Law in Virginia this week.
Meanwhile I have been cramming for finals.
My MBA class on business law has been quite timely. My unit on Intellectual Property and Internet Law is fascinating.
Do you know what factors determine a trade secret? I do now.
How about:
Steps to protect trade secrets
The most details about trade secrets
You should also be familiar with noncompetition covenants. I have brushed up on Colorado case law going back to 1909. Its really interesting.
I think I would have really liked being a lawyer, its quite similar to being a detail oriented software developer. Everything is rule based, and its kind of boring but nerdy-fun. (They also charge a fortune!) I read Refactoring: Improving the design of existing code, the classic by Martin Fowler this week. Finally. (Personal geek trivia: I met his son at a ruby conference a couple years back). Its beautiful in the way our law system is, in a process refinement kind of way. Maybe Michael Wurzer (Lawyer and Tech guy) knows what I am talking about.
It is dumping snow in Colorado, going to be a good weekend. There is supposed to be a foot in Denver today.
I have booked trips to NYC (going to see the Red Sox at the new Yankee Stadium!) and Canada (running a marathon in Ottawa!).
Yesterday marked one month since my position elimination, it also marked the delivery of the last of my back pay. Glad not to have to deal with the Colorado Department of Labor any more.
I have had a number of job offers, I am surprised at the strength of the market in Denver for software architects. I am continuing work on a number of personal software project fronts and thinking about Costa Rica in June and Africa in July. Mostly, I have been focusing on school, turns out I mistakenly took two very difficult classes this semester.
Imperial Challenge is this weekend, I won’t be participating officially, you could say my sponsorship has been pulled. Ha!
Happy Friday everyone, enjoy time with those you enjoy time with.
