This is a repost of an article that ran in April. With only a month left before the final estimates are due for individuals, I thought I would repost to remind people to do the calculation. 
Yes, yes, I know. You just filed your taxes and you don’t want to hear another dang word about it. Well, [...]

I use the TypoXP theme originally developed by Sunaryo Hadi. I absolutely love the original theme, but I wanted to make it widgetized. It wasn’t exactly an easy process with the way the right sidebar is constructed (there are actually two right sidebars). You may have noticed some weirdness tonight as I attempted to get [...]

I often slag my local paper (the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) as second rate. Growing up in a city with two first rate papers will do that to you. When they have real stories, the P-D does a great job with them and they have good reporters, but the cost cuts of the past several years [...]

Engadget, one of my favorite websites, has a regular feature called CE-Oh No He Didn’t, where they post outrageous quotes from tech CEOs. Sony’s Ken Kutaragi is a recent favorite with his comments about the PS3 (”work harder”). I think I will steal the bit for this story.
Apparently, Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) isn’t too happy about [...]

Banks, just off their victory in Congress on the Visa/Mastercard Protection Act new bankruptcy law, have gotten their lobbyists to insert a provision in yet another rushed tax bill that puts about 1 billion new provisions in the tax bill that was only supposed to extend existing provisions.
This time, PMI will be deductible for loans [...]

I’ve written a couple of time on my love for Peanuts. I’ve written of my love for my iPod. A company in Japan has combined the two to do a limited edition Snoopy iPod.
I know I don’t have any (Japanese) readers, but I would be forever in someone’s debt. I would sing your praises from [...]
