Count your purchaes, You owe Tax!

Yep, that is what NC tax collectors are telling their tax payers. They are demanding Amazon to give customer info (name/address/what they purchased)so they could collect taxes, even from previous years.

Does that mean if you live in NC, and you bought some drink when you were on vacation out side of the state, you have to pay taxes on that drink to NC government?

An Alternative Theory of Unions

Just read the Paul Graham essay
An Alternative Theory of Unions.

It is a great read. Last month me and others argued about unions in a post in broken toys. One side of the argument is unions protect workers, and my argument is unions will prefer manu work in farms and resist machinery. The essay supported my argument from another point of view.

Of course, that essay also give me chills. I have long believed that one day IT work will be paid less than janitors (IT job is easy and fun). Now I really need to find what is the next high in demand profession and try to switch.

Energy star for Gas Powered Clock

Heard this from Neal Boortz this morning, and I did a quick google search and fond many links, this is one of them.
