that's the thing... the technology has been around since about 1997...but is just starting to come into it's own now. Think of it as a tool that was invented long before a real need for it was established.

Now the problem is that this is something I cannot work on while employed at my current job and then try to move off of on my own afterwords. If the framework is accepted into canon at my current employer, I'm sure it would lift me to a MUCH higher status in the company...

but that's the tricky part.. you never know... it could end at the patent, and I could be left holding my doodle while some senior engineer takes the glory.

But I have a very solid career... ugh.. I'm going out for a beer after work with someone higher than management who happens to be a good friend.. maybe he can provide some guidance (and help).

i would love this to stay my baby, but I need to move fast too.
