		<description><![CDATA[Companies that &#8220;help you self-publish&#8221; an oxymoron if I&#8217;ve ever heard one are springing up faster than offers to have millions of dollars placed in your bank account through Nigerian barristers and Chinese business persons.  First, let&#8217;s get something straight. If an organization requires you to pay in order to get &#8220;self-publishing,&#8221; you are not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure, you can get great classical literature at Project Gutenberg to download as e-books or even to convert to computer-generated &#8216;audiobooks&#8217; (although you might not like listening to Ode to a Grecian Urn as interpreted orally by a text-to-voice software program). You can also download real audiofiles (mp3&#8217;s, wav&#8217;s, etc) from Librivox recordings. {This volunteer-run [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Roman Jackobsen identified one of the functions of language as the phatic function, it&#8217;s doubtful that he ever imagined that social media would create an environment where people communicate solely for the purpose of communicating.  Bereft of content, or riddled with cliches that render so-called information &#8220;redundancy&#8221; as Bateson would say, had turned Americans [...]]]></description>

Domain names are now available to web subscribers in alphabets other than the standard "latin" alphabet (the one that goes from a to z).

BrainTrack
- Higher Education Directory was brought to my attention and I checked it out. Here is a non-partisan directory describing higher education &#8212; colleges, universities, fees, COMPLETE SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION, just about everything you need to know. It doesn&#8217;t try to steer you to a particular school, and it&#8217;s definitely worth checking out.
