Citizen Digital Certificate

I got my Citizen Digital Certificate today. It is almost that time of the year to file tax return. With this certificate, I can just download my tax information from the government website. No more need to type all the information myself.

Another compelling reason is, as a registered Taipei citizen, I can get a card reader free. I have been told a hundred times how convenient it is to use a card reader for online banking, but never went to get one. So I installed the driver, connected the reader to the computer, keyed in my password, and voila, I was paying my credit card from my computer.

It is cool, but still not as good as paying bill online with my Band of America account, which does not even require a card reader.
