Washington State, Country and city government will cut vital services like law enforcements to deal with no NEW TAX. I rather see those administrative staffs take benefit and payroll cut. That is what private sector has to do.

Parks I walk my dog every morning are upgraded almost every day. The soccer fields were fitted with sprinkler system before they are ripped out and replaced by artificial turf. Today, they are replacing the nets with metal fences. I rather see one more police offer hired than this.

If we are letting police officers and fire fighters and rescue workers go, that is not because we did not pass the tax increase, it is because government do not know how to manage funds.

Government must do more with less

Nov

3

When the revenue goes down, businesses will cut the cost but without cutting down the quality or service. When business cuts quality or quantity, that symbolizes the death of that business. But when the government revenue goes down, it always cuts services, quality and quantity. Government must learn to do things with less money without cutting down on quality or quantity. Don't tell me they can't do that, because we, businesses do that everyday.

Unreadable Microsoft Tag

Nov

This tag is found on the Acura MDX catalogue. I believe this is a new Microsoft Mobile Tag. I have Tag scanner on my cellular phone but it does not recognize this at all. Why don't they just use standard QR Code instead.

ACURA is using Microsoft Tag ... Why?

Nov

1

I went Acura dealer today with my friend. Their car catalogue come with the tag that you can scan with your mobile phone. When you scan the tag, it takes you to the video.

Unfortunately Acura decided to use Microsoft Tag instead of QR Code. Perhaps, QR Code was developed by DENSO WAVE, sub of TOYOTA. This is a stupid mistake. Only Acura (Maybe Honda) and FORD use Microsoft Tags.

Japanese Yen Raises to the Highest Level

Oct

31

One time, Japanese yen went over 80 yen mark and recorded 79.xx Yen to US$. This was the highest since 1996 when Japanese Yen recorded 78 Yen to US$.

What is this mean?

This is not a good time to travel from US to Japan. But the goods and services made in the US seem bargain in Japan. If you have a product, service or property to sell, you should look at selling it to Japan.

By the way, cars made in Japan are sold in the US for 30% less here in the US. If this trend continues, you may be looking at jump in price for Japanese goods.
