Well, I'm starting a company.

There's too much work to do. Here's the deal: I'm working full time on five small-to-huge ongoing projects. We're also two other programmers part time as well as an artist, and could do with about one half more programmer. This doesn't feel like a lot of work, but I know it is because I'm procrastinating so hard that I'm actually updating livejournal (hi everyone!). So, a corporation it is. A real one, with shares, board meetings, an attorney and an accountant and such. No office yet, but when we do I swear it'll be painted dot-com green.

Hopefully this will all be nailed down next week. It's mostly just uber-freelancing for now (except for one project), but I get a feeling that there's rather more to do than just that.

Here's a funny thing about NYC business law: In starting an LLC, one is required to state your arrival on earth in a printed ad in three major local publications for SIX WEEKS. The cost of doing something like that? About $1800. It's some sort of wack holdover from the good old days, I understand that LLCs are relatively new inventions. An actual polo-shirt cigar smokin' golf playin' corporation is actually far easier, so there we are.

I figure I should somehow keep notes about my boring bureaucratic new paperworkful life, maybe here is a good place to do so. ....Or maybe not. :)
