 snapshots of lives interrupted as they were being actively lived

In Portraits: 9/11/01, The New York Times has gathered in one volume the remembrances of 9/11 victims that ran for months following the tragedy. The book is a poignant and personal collection containing, in the words of Times Executive Editor Howell Raines, "snapshots of lives interrupted as they were being actively lived." - [Borders Books Newsletter]

Could make a good holiday gift.

Q. Is there a way to use a PDA as a remote control for a home entertainment system?

Q. Is it possible to install a wireless access point in an area that has no power outlets?

Three of the 35 questions asked by PC Magazine readers. Over the past several months, PC Mag has been tracking these questions. The article, "You Asked For It" highlights some of the most interesting requests—and their solutions.

 Easing the fear of writing

McGee had been musing again:

"...fear of writing is one relevant barrier to tapping knowledge in organizations...Lowering or eliminating those barriers is certainly a worthy effort."

Easing the fear of writing. How could you do that? First you'd have to know what causes the fear.

I can speak for myself: fear of using hillbilly grammar. Fear of speaking out of turn, upstaging my superiors. Fear of revealing something that was supposed to be confidential that I did not know was supposed to be confidential but nobody told me because to most people "its obvious what should be confidential". Fear that coworkers will discover my ignorance. (Wait a minute, everyone has some ignorance). Fear that my ignorance is much larger in scale than most of my coworkers.

"These questions started rattling around with some other ideas hanging out in my head and the result grew into 'Writing comfort and thinking styles'"
