<title>Taxes &amp; running a small business</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I am going to talk about taxes now. </p>

<p>I have been running a small business since February of 2001. It has and is going pretty well. (see <a href="http://www.protocallonline.com">ProtoCall, LLC</a>)</p>

<p>The problem is that no matter how many deductions you have, you will always have to pay 15% to cover Social Security. I have had problem getting the business to grow enough to pay all of the taxes & have enought for my famliy. I have always fed my family first and worried about the IRS second.</p>

<p>I am running out of time with the IRS. They want the money & they are not pleasent. I have become one of those internet beggers. But I need to take care of my family</p>

<p>please see <a href="http://www.digitalresurrection.com ">Digital Resurrection</a> for more information.</p>

<p>I will blog as things progress.</p>]]></description>

<title>Battlestar Galactica</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Through the miracle that is the internet, I finished watching, the all too short Battlestar Galactica Series. It was being shown in England on SkyOne.</p>

<p>Only 13 episodes this first season. I hope we get more. Soon!!</p>

<p>I am watching them again as they show up on my PVR. <br />
This is an outstanding series. Watch it now!!!</p>]]></description>

<title>Blue Velvet</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If you haven't seen <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090756/">Blue Velvet</a> or have not seen it in a while, watch it. Be warned, it is somewhat graphic.</p>

<p>It is an outstanding movie, really one of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000186/">David Lynch's</a> best.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000454/">Dennis Hopper</a> is always fun to watch, as long as you ignore this <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108255/">one</a>.</p>]]></description>

<title>24 - Episode 5</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This post may contain spoilers.</p>

<p>This is the first season of 24 that I have watched (I plan to go back and watch season 1 - 3), and I am very impressed.</p>

<p>It is great to have a show with real characters that make tough, real world decisions. Both good & bad guys make the hard, but correct decisions. When Jack robbed the store, when they killed the girl, when the guy martyred himself & when they broke the gas pipe. The were decisions they did not want to make but the knew they had no choice and made them.</p>

<p>I am still amazed how much can happen in one hour, but it does not distract from the show.</p>

<p>One of the most appealing things is the pace of this show, there is no wasted time, if it happens, it is to move the story forward.</p>

<p>At least I don't need much sleep.</p>

<p>Watch this show.</p>]]></description>

<title>White Noise</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375210/combined">White</a> <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/white_noise/">Noise</a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000474/">Michael Keaton</a> stars in the new thriller. Is is based on the premise of <a href="http://aaevp.com/">EVP</a> or Electronic voice phenomena. Basically the dead talk to use thru electronic devices. They can be heard by playing recorded sesions on un-tuned TVs or radios.</p>

<p>After the death of his wife Keatons's character tunes into these EVP voices and finds his wife among other things.</p>

<p>The basic idea for this movie is pretty good, although some of it reminded me of The Ring (Ringu) series of movies.</p>

<p>They had some goog "made you jump" scenes & decent characters. This would make a great rental.</p>

<p>I can not recommend spending the money to see this on the big screen, but if you like ghost stories, rent it.</p>]]></description>

<title>24</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I was getting tired of hearing people talk about <a href="http://www.fox.com/24/">24,</a> a show I had never watched.</p>

<p>I thought the premise was strange and was not a big <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000662/">Kiefer Sutherland</a> fan.</p>

<p>I DVRed the first 4 episodes of this season, season 4.</p>

<p>I am pretty impressed, I have added this show to my watch list. (like I need to watch more TV)</p>

<p>The writing is nice and tight. Good strong characters that seem to have fully fleshed out backrounds. It has high production & direction values.</p>

<p>Although it is truely amazing what can happen in 1 hour.</p>

<p>Spoiler - </p>

<p>I couldn't believe it when he shot the guy in the leg. I almost jumped off the couch!!!</p>]]></description>

<title>Lost Voyage</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>It shouldn't be counted as a movie, but...</p>

<p>The movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252649/">Lost Voyage</a> is about a ship that returns from the <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/roswell/warminster/167/">Bermuda Triangle</a> after 25 years. Judd's charaters parents were on the ship when it disappeared. This is the story of what happens when they get back on the ship.</p>

<p>It was like a car wreck, I just couldn't turn away.</p>

<p>My advice, don't look in the first place.</p>

<p><br />
Spoiler....</p>

<p>It seems where things go when then disappear is hell. The ship comes back and it starts killing the people who went to investigate it. A little while later a cloud comes in loaded with evil spirits that suck out peoples souls. Ok then....</p>]]></description>

<title>Lost</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="lost.jpg" src="/mt/archives/lost.jpg" width="200" height="100" /></p>

<p>I hope you have all been watching the TV show <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index.html">Lost.</a></p>

<p>It is <a href="http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/">IMHO,</a> one of the two best dramas on TV today. It has excellent writing & production. An amazing ensemble cast that has eye candy for both men and women. <br />
The male lead is <a href="http://imdb.com/name/nm0289142/">Matthew Fox</a> (Jack), the female lead is <a href="http://imdb.com/name/nm1431940/">Evangeline Lilly</a>(Kate)</p>

<p>The head up a group of people stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere after a plane crash. I was very surprised this show turned out to be as good as it is.</p>

<p>Tune in, you will enjoy it.</p>]]></description>

<title>Allison Krauss</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="akrauss.jpg" src="/mt/archives/akrauss.jpg" width="233" height="161" /></p>

<p>Caught the <a href="http://www.alisonkrauss.com/">Allison Krauss & Union Station</a> concert on <a href="http://www.cmt.com/">CMT</a> tonight.</p>

<p>She is an outstanding performer, and Union Stion is just as good. Most people would recognize her voice (and the rest of the band) from a couple of sons from the film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190590/"><u>O Brother Where Art Thou</u></a></p>

<p>Do yourself a favor and listen to one of their CDs.</p>]]></description>

<title>My first DVR experience</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After a very long time of listening to people tell me I need a <a href="http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/products/receivers/dvr/index.shtml">DVR</a>, <a href="http://www.sbc.com/gen/landing-pages?pid=3308">SBC</a> made me a deal I could not refuse.</p>

<p>Part of the package is <a href="http://www.dishnetwork.com">DISH network</a>.</p>

<p>I have the 522 reciever/DVR. It has two tuners & can tape two shows at once, or tape one while you watch another.</p>

<p>So, I set it up to record all of our shows. Last night it taped <a href="http://www.thewb.com/Shows/Show/0,7353,||126,00.html">Smallville</a>, <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index.html">Lost</a> & <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/alias/index.html">Alias</a>. </p>

<p>I started watching lost after it was over on one TV, hit stop & picked up where I left off on a different TV. Very cool.</p>

<p>I look forward to watching this weekend's <a href="http://www.packers.com/">Packer</a> game with the ability to pause & rewind.</p>]]></description>
