taxes in Amsterdam (from US) Jan 19, 11, 10 a.m.

I used the filter, but none of the topics really covered this. I'm in the US and thinking of moving to Amsterdam for work...well, more than thinking, I have a place to go, so I'm ready to go.

My issue is I can't figure out taxes. Do I end up paying US and Dutch taxes? I can't imagine as you'd end up paying 80% to taxes and couldn't live. I've read a bunch online, but I can't seem to get a good handle on it.

Has anyone in the US done this? What exactly happens and who do you end up paying?

Tattoo type help Jan 6, 11, 10:22 p.m.

Hey guys,
I'm getting a tattoo this weekend, got the quote and font I like, but I wanted people here to look at it for leading and kerning. Being an interaction designer, I don't deal a lot in type (or haven't for about 10 years), so I wanted to ask people here for any things they might change with spacing. Already did some stuff... but anything else?

Help! stuck in Madrid! May 9, 10, 4:34 p.m.

Hey guys,

The ash cloud has stranded myself, my wife, and now a new friend who is on this crappy journey with us in the Madrid airport. We're trying to get to Lisbon. They don't know when they can rebook us to fly. I'm looking into the train, but can't take it until tomorrow night at best... assuming there is still tickets. Renting a car looks like it's about 400 bucks and we need to return it to Madrid which isn't an option.

Basically we're a bit screwed right now. Anyone got ideas? Anyone in Madrid want to drive us to Lisbon? We'll pay :D

Japanese designers/fonts Jul 2, 09, 9:46 p.m.

Does anyone around here speak Japanese and know good fonts? ...or anything about fonts. I'm looking for a caligraphy style font.

2001 Design trends Feb 13, 09, 10:28 a.m.

Ok, need some web design trend history help....
Can people give me links to the sites that popped up all around 2001 showing the crazy 3D metal shard style design with dramatic lighting and shit exploding all over...?

I don't know what the style was called, but someone should know what I'm talking about.

I have the chance to go, but it's over Halloween, so I'd miss good parties.

...anyone?

Man hit by car... Jun 5, 08, 2:46 p.m.

Philly Police Fired May 19, 08, 2:55 p.m.

3 police officers were fired and one demoted for this:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/05…

They were chasing shooting suspects so part of me if like "eh", but it's pretty obvious since all the police are *standing kicking the shit out of them they aren't resisting really. Very cowardly of the police to do. Handcuff and beat them. Thank god they got fired. It makes me happy at least one police force is taking action.

btw - wtf, they didn't notice a helicoptor...and maybe thought "huh, maybe we're on tape"

I'm in Beijing May 10, 08, 8:05 p.m.

...and didn't shart'ed.
however I wish I could breath a bit better. I'm at this holiday inn style hotel, but I wish I were at the Grand Hyatt.

Anyone else here?

Norway? May 8, 08, 12:44 p.m.

I have a chance to potentially go to *either Norway or South Korea to speak at conferences for work.

I've been to Korea, but never to Norway. How is it?

McDonalds aroud the world May 3, 08, 6:08 p.m.

... for those of you who live in the US, I wonder if we have the "lowest class" McDonalds design and service around the world. From these pictures it would certainly seem so...

Why is this song.... Apr 28, 08, 12:18 p.m.

...stuck in my head? I'm digging it so much right now. I know no one QBN is probably a lil wayne fan, so I threw in some of my normal music below it.

Just a slight contrast....

Where is that Smell your Dick song? I know it's gonna get posted.

Music is Dead! Apr 8, 08, 11:02 a.m.

An estimated 210,000 kids in S.Korea are affected. I wonder what company will make millions in helping to cure them.

*Burp* Jan 4, 08, 10:34 a.m.

I had some steak and onion sandwiches for breakfast... now I'm having a soda and burping some terrible funk! It's even hurting my nose... ugh.

Stupid ipod Dec 30, 07, 11:53 p.m.

So I got a new ipod and I went to copy my library over to the the new one. 14 songs I bought on iTunes won't upload because "they are not authorized to play on this computer" ...despite that I bought them on this computer.

Any idea why this is happening? Another Apple miracle. Way to ruin a first experience Jobs.
