I'm sure that there have been a brazillion threads about this, but I couldn't remember or find one. This means that I either have a ****ty memory (I do), suck at search (again, guilty as charged) or that there's not been a thread like this (I'm not that creative).

Me, I own a web development company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. I write code on a diminishing basis as I continue to hire, I develop new business, and really focus on verbally and emotionally abusing my employees. We've been in business for two years this month and have been very blessed to survive in a crap economy.

stare at a computer for eight hours, leaving the desk as little as possible.

And frozo, not to dissuade your profession of choice, but have you seen the articles the NY Times have been doing on the law profession lately? Here's a link to one of them. (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/30/business/30hours.html) They had it coincide with the beginning of that ABC drama on new lawyers working for top firms (sexual tension, dog eat dog competition, still be friends at the end of the day, that type of thing). It's an interesting read for anyone interested in the profession, and probably mostly reflects the larger metropolis areas, not the Alaskas and frozen metropolis areas ;)

Yeah, I'm keeping up with the legal job market and its related horribleness. I don't plan on practicing in Alaska, nor do I plan on practicing in a large market like NY, SF, or Chicago. My ultimate goal is either work as an AUSA or in a large firm in a midsize city. Billable hours is a concern in firm life, not so much in the US Attorney's office. All I can do is work my butt off and keep my grades up.

I have six interviews in a couple of weeks for local firms so I can work there in the summer and check it out and figure out if I like big firm life in Birmingham (of course while they figure out if they like me and see if I'll steal the office supplies or something.)

We're in an odd spot because we're a software sales team in a consultant environment. Nobody really knows what to do with us. :D

It is a bit disconcerting that the hit rate on Google search of my name in English script is like 2,990 and the Google search in Thai script of my name is 2,950.

I would imagine it must have something to do with the local tax codes in Delaware that makes it a good place to incorporate a business.

Here's why, in a nutshell. Delaware's Corporate Code is pretty much the model for every other state's corporate code. Business entities like to incorporate there for three main reasons; 1) Since they were the first state to adopt a Corporate Code, and the rest of the states pretty much copied theirs, Delaware's courts are have a wealth of corporate case law on which to rely thus making outcomes of various business disputes pretty predictable (that whole legal precedent thingy); 2) As you might expect given #1, Delaware judges and legal practitioners know and understand even the minor nuances of corporations law, and; 3) the Delaware SecState is very customer-focused and makes filing incorporation documents pretty quick and painless.

You're absolutely right, Homey! I can help someone complete the paperwork to establish a corporation or LLC in under five minutes. Years ago, Pete duPont realized that making Delaware a good base for businesses would be a great move for our economy. The Chancery Courts here are unparalleled, and they're very business-friendly.
