Florida to Tax Home Networks

Wired News: Florida to Tax Home Networks

The tax language is so broad that virtually any communication technologies in your home or office could be subject to this tax, said Chris Hart, spokesman for ITFlorida, a not-for-profit industry organization for the state's technology professionals. It's difficult to imagine a more anti-technology, anti-business tax. It directly attacks the efficient use of information technology.

CD Blowout

I went on a CD shopping frenzy at the Union Square Virgin Megastore today. They are having a 3 for $25 sale and it's a surprisingly good mix of CDs on sale (usually it's a mix of the best hits of a 70s cover band).

I picked up:

• The Essentials by Bronski Beat and Jimmy Somerville
• Time Capsule by The B-52's
• Trance Masters by Various Artists
• End of the Century by Ramones
• Licensed to Ill by Beastie Boys
• Hard Trance by Various Artists

Am ripping them now to the iTunes RAID array I set up.
