Like that, Bron Bron?

I usually wouldn’t post something so crass… but serious times call for serious actions…

California’s Tax Problem

Ed. Note : Some argue for the abolition of the taxes all together or a flat tax, but really we can’t expect a tax based on "presences" to be appropriately levied. Will the job situation be fixed in 18 months? If it is, expect unions and "innovation" to take a back seat- the problems that were left for this administration make me hope that we do not enter yet another lost decade.

The result of this bill is that any out-of-state retailer will *not* have to collect sales tax if they sever business relationships with a large swath of contractors, service providers, ad networks and affiliates that have a presence in California.

If you are a company that in any way makes a commission or markets on behalf of another company as your monetization, you are in danger.

If you are a contractor, web host of some kind or other service provider that is even peripherally facilitating the sale of a product in any fashion, you are in danger of out-of-state retailers canceling their contracts. This could include web design, web hosting (including out-of-state hosts with a server in California), coding, mobile apps, you name it.

Whip of the Week : Hover Bike

It may still be in the concept stage; it may be spendy; it may not be eco-friendly; it may not be safe (in the least bit) - but it’s our Whip of the Week. Check out the site, linked below, to see pics/videos.

Besides all the obvious caveats, I WANT one of these things.  Hurry up, future/military industrial complex/otherworldy invaders.  Thanks.

 

 

From the site:

-We would like to you buy a hoverbike now, but lets be honest - this takes time to get right. To help speed this up so you can own one, we need funding and man-hours. This bike was built over 2 1/2 years by one person in his car garage after work and studies, and building it is only 10% of the way there. Testing testing and testing needs to be done and we need collective help from you!
-If you would like to buy a prototype now, and do your own testing, please feel free to contact us to discuss.

What is EcoFactor?

EcoFactor’s SaaS-based energy management engine collects, stores and processes 24,000 points of data each day from individual homes, local weather stations and numerous other geographic inputs - 12,000 from inside the home and 12,000 from outside the home. The result is an individualized HVAC Auto-Pilot program that can easily save homeowners 20 to 30 percent in HVAC energy usage without sacrificing comfort or convenience. (Source)

Twitter and Apple

Image source

But, fundamentally, what’s interesting about Twitter is that anyone can follow anyone else (besides for private accounts of course). That’s its magic: Anthony Weiner can send a picture of his crotch to tens of thousands of people from his Blackberry.

This is Not a Diary

Image source

People think of blogging as similar to keeping a diary, but that’s really a very shallow comparison. Blogging is similar to diary writing in that both are a form of structured writing undertaken on a semi-regular basis and both are similar in length.
