From Zero to Beta: Crafting a Free, Accountless Location-Based Experience
The Minnesota Then website/web app, a side project I have been working on to varying degrees since November 2022, is finally “finished.” At long last I get to start devoting my time to content instead of living well out of my comfort zone in the land of web development.

Dear Diary in Late October 2025
Dear Diary, I've been reading both AI generated articles and real articles written by contributors here at Vocal.media and of course taking in the various topics jumbles up inside my mind like a math formula summing up for some conclusion. That's what this diary entry is - all those words mixing up together in my mind for an opinion, a summation. "Add it Up" sang The Violent Femmes, a band that I enjoyed listening to in my teens. Well, I do. I always do. I used to pride myself on being an excellent critiquer, until I started noticing that most contributors (whether they are serving you food, a product, a service, or some entertaining or educational reading material) want praise, not critique. And now, with AI generated articles, most of the contributors feel that there is nothing to critique because AI is perfect, right? I don't think so. I've read some of the AI generated articles. The format is shiny, the grammar and spelling mistakes absent, and the presentation is pretty --- like those photos of the perfect hamburger complete with decorative garnish. But when you go order the REAL hamburger, it doesn't look exactly like the photograph. Why not? Oh, that's right, there is a difference between REAL and Photo-Shopped. Like the difference between a real mother who breast feeds her children and a mother who would never let a baby suck on her breasts because that's "disgusting".

In modern private wealth structuring, the foundation has re-emerged as a cornerstone vehicle, combining legal personality, asset segregation, and intergenerational control.

A Contract Does What Accounting Can’t: How an Agreement Can Reduce Your Tax Burden
Recently, companies are becoming increasingly strategic about how they structure ownership of their intellectual property. While most businesses instinctively register their trademarks under the same entity that operates the business, a more sophisticated, and legally efficient, approach is to separate ownership and use.

Taxes and Accounting Tips for New Private Practice Owners
Understanding Your Financial Responsibilities Starting a private practice brings both clinical and business responsibilities, and one of the most critical areas to understand from the beginning is taxation. Many new practice owners underestimate how tax obligations differ from working as an employee. Instead of taxes being automatically deducted, you are responsible for tracking and submitting them yourself. This requires careful attention to income, expenses, and reporting requirements. Keeping accurate records from day one helps avoid confusion at tax time. Understanding your financial responsibilities ensures compliance, reduces stress, and supports a strong foundation for financial health as your practice grows and becomes more established.

Digital Innovation Needs in Maritime: What the Industry Is Missing. AI-Generated.
The maritime industry moves the world. Ships carry 90% of everything we buy, use, and consume across oceans every single day. Yet while other industries have embraced digital transformation, shipping still operates much like it did decades ago. Paper documents travel slower than the ships themselves. Tracking systems go dark between ports. Payment settlements take weeks instead of minutes.
