My New MacBook - and Its Tax Connection

Just before BlogHer, Chris went out and bought me a new laptop. This was a fairly important purchase since my last laptop had more or less lost its portability - kind of an important part of a laptop.
My new laptop is a MacBook, just a more modern version of my prior laptop (only this […]

On My Way to BlogHer!

I’m officially on my way to BlogHer!
The flight was remarkably full this morning as we pulled out of Philly. I guess that San Francisco is a pretty popular destination - and why not? The pilot announced that it was a chilly 51 degrees at take off - a far cry from the 93 […]

The BlogHer Countdown

Wow, in just about 12 hours (a little over), I’ll be crawling into a cab (before 5am, anyone would be crawling) to head out to San Francisco to speak at BlogHer.
I am ridiculously excited for a zillion reasons, not the least of which is that I hear that the high in San Francisco is about […]

Now comes news that another industry has received a boost from the (*cough*) stimulus package: porn.
Adult web sites are experiencing a boost in sales this year, despite a slowdown in the economy. Perhaps […]

BlogHer? I Hardly Knew Her!

Yeah, yeah, I know. It was a bad joke last year, too, but I was hoping that it would grow on you.

I’m speaking again at BlogHer - this time, it’s in San Francisco (insert squeals here).
My session is Friday morning, July 18 at 10:30am. The description is here:
If you’re a blogger, and your […]

Ask the taxgirl: What would taxgirl do?

Taxpayer asks:
What would you be if you weren’t a tax attorney?
Taxgirl says:
Ooh, that’s a fun question!
I love to write, so I’d love to be published someday.
And if I weren’t doing tax, ummmm…
I’d either be running some kind of nonprofit organization that does grass roots neighborhood improvements - or I’d own a winery!
Like any good […]
