I guess I can call the mom and tell her to add another entry to the baby book. Baby's first published patent application. Its for a
Scanning Apparatus and System for Tracking Computer Hardware. I wrote a lot of the content myself and did the diagrams.
This whole thing came about when my wife's laptop was stolen from her car one night and I developed a way to find it. I tried out my new idea and found the laptop in less than a half hour and put the guy in jail.
