Sweden to camgirls: the tax man cometh:

The Swedish Tax Authority is going after webcam strippers for what they believe amounts to 20 million kroner in unpaid taxes. The organization says that because these girls are pretty young (and trust them, they’ve investigated), perhaps they’re unaware of the tax laws in Sweden.

Welcome to my tumblelog!

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 13:36:44 +0000

Well, this is interesting for me. I’ve been blogging for a number of years now on what used to be MSN Spaces since 2004, I fell in love with WordPress through blogging on WordPress.com, then I tried my hand at running a custom install of WordPress on my own server, I’ve been micro blogging on Twitter for a few months now, and here I am with a tumblelog!

I am known round various parts on the internet for my main blog, Los Havros, which mainly focuses on my gaming endeavours, and any other snippets I find interesting. However, I don’t want to detract too much from my main blog, so I’m using my space on Tumblr to post as many random things I want here that I find interesting.

Erm, if you’re dropping by, I hope you enjoy what you find here!
