Interesting Articles: Jan 3rd-9th 2006

* Rejected by the Publishers (New York Times).
* Literary Letters, Lost in Cyberspace (New York Times). A nice connection to the Supreme Court transcript article I posted last week, this article is about authors' electronic correspondences.
* Communicating (Forbes). An intimidatingly large list of articles and interviews on communicating, but most are quite short and some are interesting. Personally, I enjoyed Alan Lightman On Boycotting E-Mail, Milton Glaser On Conveying Information Through Puzzles (*coughTheGamecough*), Lying Is Good For You, How To Talk To Aliens (especially the flash popup diagrams of messages into space -- I'd seen this before, but this was a nice reminder), and the related Frank Drake On Ambiguity . Your particular interests may vary.
