Sigh!
So I sent off both my federal and state income tax for last year a little over a week ago. I knew I could wait until today, but I wanted it out of my hair.
Of course, I had “forgotten” that April 15th also marks the time to send in estimated tax - a lovely […]
According to Betsy Schiffma, blogger at Epicenter, Wired Magazine’s business blog, writers at Helium.com are unhappy because the service is considering withholding payment from authors who are no longer active, even if their content is producing profit - that ‘long-tail’ profit.

Don’t get me wrong. I love email! When it’s from real people, like clients, potential clients, family, and friends, it’s great. I even have a pretty good system for keeping on top of it… pretty good.
