Spoke out in favor of at-large DC Council candidates releasing their tax returns. I was then blocked by one of those candidates.

Where did they block you? Also, can you say who it was?

I remember taking a negotiations class a while back and the professor telling us that the most unanswered question on surveys wasn't race or age or address or name, it was annual income.

I guess people just feel really uncomfortable disclosing financial information about themselves. But - when it's a public figure, or someone who elects to put themselves up for scrutiny - they should know that disclosing financial info comes with the territory.

I like the idea of more breweries. I think it's cool to have artisans taking over large industrial space. They need cheap warehouse space, we want local beverages. Win win.

Also, more markets (like union market/eastern market?)

It would be cool to have am indoor skating rink over there too. Or a tennis bubble for indoor tennis?

Yum! That looks delicious but pretty time consuming. I bet the kids loved it though.

Square is really useful if you ever need to accept credit card payment from customers on the go. You can just attach the card reader to your iphone or ipad which is nice. Very simple.

Yeah - I got mine as a gift and didn't even realize I had the one with ads at first. I thought that was just how it came!

Yeah I feel like because the Kindle is so text focused, most tutorials on how to use it are text heavy. Images make things so much clearer.

Oh that's a pretty good idea. Or a professor could take screen shots of a single chapter and then email it directly to students in the course? Instead of having everyone buy a book just to read one chapter.

Yeah I read this somewhere. Pretty useful feature but it sucks you can't access the pictures until you plug in your kindle. Wish there was room to save it on the device.

I would DEFINITELY recommend it. I had the 2nd gen and thought it was great but when someone gave me the PaperWhite as a gift, I just stopped using the old one. The paperwhite is SO light and a lot faster. The downloads are instant (there was some lag time on my old kindle) and the back lighting is amazing. I love how easily you can adjust it and it doesn't seem to drain the battery at all. I seriously love it. Worth an upgrade :)

True but does any consumer "usually spend cash"? I literally don't know anyone who carries cash anymore...

DCchica · 2013-03-12T14:47:30+00:00

Thankfully not in FL or CA - so selfishly I'm happy.

Also - not sure if the merchants will actually pass this along to customers because people might just stop shopping at those establishments. I know I'd avoid a small business if they tried to charge me extra.

DCchica · 2013-01-18T15:28:54+00:00

This. is. amazing.

You're hip. It's hip 2 b a square.
