- When you are in integrity, you can say chair & a chair comes out of your mouth. When you are not in integrity, you get hit by the chair. #
- Randomly looking thru Zen Cart files trying to find where to change the logo on the template because the documentation is inaccurate. #
- Apparently the only way to change the logo of your website in Zen Cart is to search through thousands of lines of code to find a variable. #
- Are there ANY good shopping carts out there? I am getting really really frustrated with the dozens I have tried that all suck. #
- Studies show pessimists may be more accurate in assessing things, but optimists achieve 4 to 5 time more because they keep trying. #

- Wow. 2010 Health Care Act that will require small businesses to send a 1099 to the Apple store if they by a Mac or any purchase over $600. #
- Congress & IRS wants you to spit out a 1099 every time you purchase more than $600 of anything in a year from one vendor. #business #taxes #
- So 40 million more taxpayers will be required to file 1099 forms & many businesses will go from filing about 10 annually to more than 200. #
- The way the law is written, it appears you are even required to issue a 1099 to the IRS for their services of collecting taxes. #
- And it appears if you interpret the law literally, you are required to withhold payments to the IRS if they don't provide you with a TID. #
- I know Congress did not intend that, but the new law is so broad basically if you pay anyone $600 or more, you have to file a 1099. #
- Reading the details of these bills in depth (not just the hype, the actual provisions) makes me wonder: Are they trying to kill the economy? #

- Thanks to CVS/pharmacy I keep wanting to type CVS instead of CSV (comma separated values). #
