In the wake of the MSFT layoffs, and another Game File Tall Chart, I made a blog post over at anchinfinite.substack.com, analyzing Microsoft's CEO compensation against the median worker. If that interests, or if you know anyone who that might interest, I'm grateful if you check it out or share.

Read video games EU's "position paper." A very poor quality memo. Many claims and no supporting evidence. Drawing lines in the sand ahead of lobbying against regs/legs. Need to challenge the legal "status quo" as defined or push for transparency on what we're buying and what is being marketed to us.

Amortization expense is not a spreadsheet trick. If I spend $500 on rights that will last 5 years, this is an asset that helps me make money over 5 years. At the end of year 1, my rights asset is reduced by $100 and I report $100 of amortization expense, relating to revenue generated from rights.

CPA Capstone 1 completed. A frustrating experience overall, but the presentation to CPA colleagues was nailed, and that was pleasant.
