Patent Reform's Beach Reach
Tech Daily Dose has been quiet for a few days because I slipped away for a long weekend of R&R -- but I found out pretty quickly that it's hard to leave Washington behind no matter how far you travel from Capitol Hill.
Imagine my surprise when I wound up completely engrossed in a lengthy conversation about ins and outs of the current patent reform debate while gazing out at the white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters of the Riviera Maya.
The stranger with whom I spoke, while sipping first-rate margaritas, will remain nameless but the conversation with this Beltway outsider was captivating because I was exposed to viewpoints I had never heard before in my scores of hearings, briefings and interviews.
It's easy to lose sight of how pertinent policy issues impact those who do not frequent the halls of Congress. It's also enormously gratifying to see that folks who do not deal with this set of issues daily still follow this very important news story… even while on vacation at a secluded tropical destination.
