Deducting the cost of your slacker boyfriend
Got any [boy/girl]friends living with you, but not contributing their fare share? Take them as a dependent exemption. (Also works with grandma/grandpa, even if they're in a home.) -
Interviewed by "Hugs"
My interview in Russian furry magazine Hugs is now available (p. 6).
Not sure how many people here can read it (angel51431, I'm looking at you), but there's a picture of me being interviewed by Pillgrim, drawn by Душевед.

Amazon trying to reduce associates' income
Here's some recent changes in Amazon's associate agreement (for people who earn money off links pointing to Amazon's products).

Correspondants on the front line
The BBC is doing some pretty hairy reporting (additional video, audio) from Homs in Syria, with a two-man reporting crew smuggled in by gun-runners. Hope they make it out again. -

How Discover tried to act smart, but just looked dumb
Some computer is out at whack over at Discover Personal Loans. They just sent me a promotional flyer comparing a loan of $16,000 at 7.99% APR against . . . wait for it . . . a loan of $16,000 at 7.99% APR.
