And anthropologists, believe it or not. Heard a replay of an 
interview with an Australian woman who is working for Intel in the 
US. She is an anthropologist and was hired by Intel to research the 
use of microchip devices by real people rather than the cookie-cutter 
concept of moving office applications into the home.

There is no wasted time except that spent not writing. - R Garcia, 
February 2008

Writing Lesson #54:
Learn to love revision. Think of it as polishing the silver for
