I will be appearing live on CNN at 1:30 Pacific Time today - in 35 minutes - to comment on the experience of fellow software consultant Joe Stack, who burned down his house today then crashed his airplane into an IRS office.
CNN Googled up this page of mine:

I caught you on CNN and I was totally surprise that this could happen to a self employed person. I bet Microsoft is getting a kick out this, by keeping programmers under control. I hope congress does something about this.

My whole CNN interview is on YouTube - I just hope you don't run 64-bit. xD

I did a much-longer taped interview later yesterday afternoon with KGO, a local San Francisco station. I'll try to find it on their website if I can.
I'm getting ready to submit a story about my whole experience, and Joe's distress over the Section 1706 tax code to the Kuro5hin community website:
If you sign up as a member, you can then click the "Moderate Submissions" link. There you will be able to see my essay while it is being considered by the moderators.
There is a $5 troll suppression fee required to vote or to post comments, but just to read a story in the Edit Queue without actually commenting is free of charge.
I'll post my story within the hour.

64-bit worked just fine.

It's now online. I appear towards the end. But I'm having some trouble with the video playback; maybe KGO's server can't handle the load:

I never really appreciated just how much I look like Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

I am ambivalent about this story, primarily because access to the real story is denied to the general, casual reader. The links provided so far are only to aired snippets that have been quite filtered as to any meaningful, make a determination as to whose side of the story one should really be on, data.
TBT, this casual reader has had his own share of troubles with the IRS, but that was all because of a 2nd wife/bitch that flew the coop leaving me holding the bag. And this 'casual reader' isn't about to pay, exposing my CC info yet again, to be able to read your story. Until then, I believe the innuendo is not appropriate for this list.

Sorry Michael, I didn't find anything but a login block at that address, hence my reticence to comment on the 'facts' since they are being hidden from us behind a $5.00 toll gate.

The requirement that one sign up as a member to read my story while it is in the Edit or Voting Queues, will persist only until my story is (hopefully) approved by the membership. At that point, it will be freely available to any anonymous user, without any requirement to sign up or to pay anything at all. I expect that it will post by Saturday evening or so.

Kuro5hin's five dollar "entrance fee" has been the topic of loud and frequent protests the whole time it has been in force. Unfortunately, because of the "spirited" nature of the typical Kuron, the fee is the only solution that has been found to keep the trolls from completely overrunning the place.
I'll let you know when it posts publicly. Also when I get home from work, I plan to mirror the whole piece on my own website, where it will be just a static HTML page, with nary a web application, nor even a cookie anywhere near the place.
