"Something Besides Tax" blogspot launch highly successful

Location and Time: Sydney, Australia: 11:55 pm - Tim and BJ's study table

After much preparation, including the reading of all the terms and conditions offered by Pyra, the Something Besides Tax blogspot was successfully launched, with a myriad of celebrities and VIPs attending the launch function.

Amongst the who's who, were the late Jeff Buckley, (who Tim was listening to in the lead up to the launch), Pierre Omidyar (the guy who invented eBay, on which Tim was looking for cheap TV tuners in the lead up to the launch), and Larry Sanger (one of the people behind Wikipedia, on which Tim spends too much time looking at articles, such as the article on eBay).

The launch almost didn't even go ahead at all, with early reports indicating that Tim was struggling to come up with a decent user name. An inside source has quoted Tim as saying: "I tried over and over again to get an easy username, but they were all taken. After the fourth attempt, I was very tempted to give up then and there."

It seems that Tim did manage to eventually arrive at a username. However, when asked about this username, Tim simply gave a blank stare for several seconds and said: "Crapola, I can't remember, but I wrote it down somewhere."

Sources indicate that the title of the blog: "Something Besides Tax" is not entirely true, with reports that Tim has spent so much time in the tax field, he will find it difficult to write about anything else.

The highly publicised launch of Something Besides Tax, however, does beg the question - what is it all about?
