Since I work from home, it's not that exciting.

This doesn't seem fair:

Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator

You do not qualify for an economic stimulus payment

According to law, the economic stimulus payment amount that you would otherwise be entitled to receive is reduced by 5% of the amount that your Tax Year 2007 Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $75,000. You would have been eligible for an economic stimulus payment of $600, but your AGI exceeds $75,000 by enough to reduce that amount to zero.

However, if your situation changes during 2008, you may be able to claim an economic stimulus credit on your Tax Year 2008 return.

I guess the administration doesn't want me to stimulate the economy.

The solution to the nerd problem in the Marriott -- Bushmill's at Pitcher's (seriously, the bar is called Pitcher's!) -- (crappy iPhone photo)

So here I am in Kansas City for a conference. Things that have already annoyed me:

• I am in Kansas City (sorry Eric and Pam)
• The Marriott is under construction and is covered in scaffolding and tarps that make it look like a giant fumigation tent.
• Super Shuttle did not know where the Overland Park Marriott is located. $85 later, a nice taxi driver had delivered me to this part of hell.
• This is a highly-specialized technical conference. I had to leave the bar earlier due to the high number of NERDS that thought they were cool (they were not).
