The New York Court of Appeals ruled that a Tennessee telecommuter must pay New York State income tax on 100% of his income. The article goes on to point out the potential national significance of this ruling. Does this mean that if the company were based in New York City that the employee would need to pay the additional city income tax as well?

Bloglines announced that they can now track USPS, UPS and FedEX packages. One can now subscribe to a feed that will be updated whenever the package’s status changes. This might be overkill for many packages, but if you are eagerly awaiting a certain package, this might be a nice feature. It would be so much cooler if USPS, UPS, and FedEX could just toss tracking information into your feed automatically for packages that are either sent by you or coming your way.

The circus will be coming to town later this month. While I’m not a huge fan, I do enjoy seeing pachyderms walk the streets of New York. The elephants are scheduled to make their annual March to MSG Tusday night (22MAR). As was the case last year, I’ll be out to snap some pictures. Unlike last year, I will not have my equipment to blame if I don’t come back with any good shots.
Thanks to Will for the tip!
