I still need to file for the S-Corp status and get a business specific bank account, but I've been busy working on the website. I made a good decision to put up a couple posts and tutorials regarding AutoDesk's removal of Reactor (physics engine) in the latest version of 3ds Max. In turn, some Taiwan website posted a few links to us and my site ( Read more... )

So we finally got to talk with a CPA. He advised we form an LLC and elect to be taxed as an S-Corp. The advantage to this is a) any profit we earn after we pay ourselves a 'reasonable' wage can be distributed to us without incurring an extra 15% self-employment tax, and b) we have a little added security being an LLC versus a partnership ( Read more... )

On St Patrick's day, I ate an eye-opening brownie. I probably wasn't sober until after 1pm the next day. I say "probably" because I was up all night talking with Dan and sleep deprivation makes me a little wacky and hyper. Maybe it was the brownie, the full moon, or just a young-life crisis, but it's time for change ( Read more... )

I get home and some high school track meeting is BLASTING that god damn b-a-n-a-n-a-s song! "Hollaback Girl" is the worst combination of noise in the entire incarnation of all the recording industry! Nothing against ole Gwenny. I know nothing about the woman and I never claimed to have any taste in music... in fact I rather enjoy some of her songs ( Read more... )

Hi. These were shared with me last night before a Floater concert.

What What (in the butt)

Zombie Car Wash Sexy... kinda.

Santasm.net This sole movie justifies the very existance of the internet. The detail is amazing.

That is all.

I still enjoy my job. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much work for me this last week so I've been doing a lot of reading... which is strange, because as many of you know: I don't read. Fortunately, it's all non-fiction and I don't count that as reading... it's more like studying... which I'm okay with because I never really did any of that in ( Read more... )

I have a job!!! Wee! I'm going to be a scientist in Seattle... well... just north of Seattle.

I start Monday and will be Uhauling it Friday. I'm excited. The group seems to be a good one. It's a small office part of a larger, employee owned firm. Here's hoping that's a good thing.

It's decided. To simplify ethical dilemmas, everyone should be referred to as a numbered meatbag. Laws and regulations will be defined by which meatbags are allowed to act and express their individual numbers ( Read more... )

So I've been away for a while. That interview I had a while back turned into a second interview and now turned into a offer. Well, and offer for an offer. I need to call the company tomorrow to talk shop with them. But they want me ( Read more... )

My weekend started early. I saw DJ shadow on Wednesday, then went to Octoberfest on Saturday, followed by shopping and a 3 mile run (I decided against running 6 like Dan and his roommate did), and an interview this morning ( Read more... )
