So I finally mailed my taxes today. I did them in February, but I owed Federal and Michigan, so I waited to actually send them. California owes me $1.41, but that's not much of a consolation. I'll be glad when I'm just a resident of somewhere and don't have to fill out non-resident forms for two states. That's a hassle.

I started writing a post today talking about the paper I'm writing on why indecency regulations shouldn't/can't be extended to satellite and cable, but then it turned into something that's approaching paper length itself and isn't done yet. That'll probably show up here tomorrow.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
