Internet Sales Taxes Are Coming

Internet Sales Taxes Are Coming 03/06/2004 01:56 AM

Here come the Net taxes: Apparently 19 states are adding a line to their tax returns asking people how much stuff they bought on the Internet this year, and asking them to pay sales tax on it. And, according to this article, that's only the beginning.

Don't snicker at the effort by 19 states this year to collect Internet sales tax. You'll be sorry.

Sure, from an enforcement perspective, adding a line on tax forms and asking you to pay up is laughable.

And yes, it probably won't net much.

But you know what? It's the beginning of a tax tidal wave on the Net.

Lost Online Sales Taxes Not As Big As

Lost Online Sales Taxes Not As Big As
Thought 07/16/2004 01:59 PM
A billion here, a billion there... it's not real money, so who cares? State governments have been going bonkers for years about all that "lost revenue" from those damn geeks buying products online and not paying the necessary sales tax. There are all sorts of laws and schemes afoot to try to collect more of those taxes from asking you to be honest to making merchants calculate and collect the taxes for you. While many smaller e-commerce firms are scared what that might cost, the state governments keep trotting out huge sales tax loss numbers. Well, now, it turns out that the numbers they've been trotting out have been wrong. No surprise there. Any time you try to figure out "losses" from an expense that isn't really there, people are simply making up numbers. However, the researchers who conducted the original studies are now saying that (oops) those original numbers were off by quite a bit. They still claim there are losses, but they're much, much less than what they originally reported last time they were asked to make up some numbers.

there's the rub or Do I Write Another
Book? 01/15/2003 08:47 AM
To write: perchance to try again: ay, there's the rub1 or Do I Write Another (PHP2) Book? Anyone who was IMing me in the May / June / July time frame may be surprised to see this entry. Things change and time makes pain and bad memories drift away. I am speaking, of course, about the O'Reilly Essential Blogging writing process which was just plain awful and made me swear that I would N_E_V_E_R write another book for money. And here I am. I've been approached by Sams to write a PHP 5 in 21 Days book and I'm torn. I just don't know whether I want to walk this road again. Here's the situation as I see it: Pros I am the PHP Journal columnist for "On the Horizon" which talks about new PHP 4.x and 5.x features so it makes sense to write this I'm virtually certain that I'd enjoy working with this editor more than my last. Shelley strikes me as just plain cool (she handled giving out books to a pack of ravenous open source folk at PHP CON with a lot of style and grace). Good self promotion Would probably generate consulting work although that is by no means clear Establishes my credentials more firmly and anchors me to PHP even more Chance to talk about things like templating and event driven coding $$$ (although there is never all that much of it) Having an editor Cons Having an editor Have to create a __good__ website for the book How will they bungle the online side of it in a new and creative way? Lose the source code? Post it wrong? Managing the book writing and blogging and consulting process concurrently Will I actually make money Does promoting parts of it on my blog make me a schill Questions If anyone out there can help with these questions, I'd appreciate it: Anyone out there buy Sams books? I haven't in years and I don't know the rep these books have. Thoughts? Example of Similar Sams Book Has anyone written for Sams? Do they pay well What are they like as a publisher? Positive, Negative, Details? Was it a good or bad omen when I dropped my review copy of "Cold Fusion in 21 days" in the sink when shaving this morning? Would you buy it? Do people buy PHP books as opposed to using PHP.Net? I myself have a bunch of PHP books but don't turn to them all that often. There is something just plain addictive about walking into a bookstore and seeing yourself on the shelf. That and once you've written one book then there is just something about it. As Robert Heinlein once remarked (and the quote is inexact) "No one likes writing but people like having written". He was definitely correct about that. Thoughts, feedback, comments strongly appreciated. 1To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1. [_Go_] (sorry for the bad link but their search engine doesn't give easily linkable results) 2Oh and if you're wondering why I put PHP on the title, with PHP being the target audience I figured it would get this more attention (and syndication to other sites) from the target audience

I'll be honest I like doing my taxes now. Some of you are going to say what are you talking about. Well it's easy I have been using TurboTax Online for a couple of years now and I love the service. Even though I have to do business forms and everything the process for me start to finish takes a couple of hours.

Luckily I have a wife that enters every receipt and anything related to my business in the book keeping system and I don't have to dig around for receipts and break out in a cold sweat organizing it all. I love filing and the wife likes keeping the paperwork straight. A match made in heaven. [CNet] [TurboTax]

How to write a webl0g 09/19/2004 03:48 AM
Yesterday somebody pointed me towards a little essay published 2 years ago by Mark Bernstein, 10 Tips on Writing the Living Web. What a gem! I can't believe I haven't seen this before. As soon as I read it, I knew that if I searched for the title, it would be cited thousands of times. It has all the hallmarks of a classic, the first draft of Strunk & White for writing on the web. It's a great essay about writing on the web, but also just about writing. I won't cheat by excerpting large portions, I'll just demonstrate that Bernstein knows how to write a headline: Write for a reason Write often Write tight Make good friends Find good enemies Let the story unfold Stand up, speak out Be sexy Use your archives Relax! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to write for the web, or just wants to learn how to write better. Next time someone asks me, how do I start a blog, I think I'll send them this link. After reading the essay, I became even more impatient for Bernstein to finish the version of Tinderbox for Windows that he is working on, so I have a chance to try it out....
