2,000+ Legal Forms Online courtesy of The Internet Legal Research Group
The Internet's largest collection
of free legal forms -- 2,000+ and growing! A number of the forms are now
adapted for state-specific use, and will continue to increase this number.
We're committed to delivering the highest quality forms on the Internet -- so
committed, in fact, that we'll pay $50 to any
person who can demonstrate that one of our forms is not compliant with
state law. Remember to bookmark this page (Ctrl+D) and check back often to see
our progress. If we do not have the form that you need, please e-mail the Webmaster, and we will
endeavor to provide that form in the near future.

Manybooks.net: 11,000 free books and counting
<http://manybooks.net/ >
Wow. This site has over 11,000 downloadable books in PDF, eReader, Doc, Plucker, zTXT, iSilo, iSiloX, Rocketbook, TCR, iPod Notes and Librie formats. If you're like me, you'll probably want to just grab the pdf and trot it off to the local printer for a low-cost dead-tree version but then again, I don't have a Librie, so.... ....

Tiger's built-in dictionary and Thesaurus.
I've got a few things to clear off the desktop
(like work) before I try installing Tiger on my workhorse, so I don't really
want to comment on too much beforehand. There is one feature I'd like to
comment on before the press hits it and that is Tiger's built-in
dictionary.
As of this posting, Apple US describes the dictionary at
http://www.apple.com/macosx/newfeatures/over200.html
as
Dictionary Application
Look up troublesome words in a new dictionary and thesaurus system application based on The New Oxford American Dictionary.
Apple.UK describes it as:

http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/newfeatures/over200.html
So before the UK whiners start at it, (You know who you are. ;-) ) I'd like to ask.
What significant differences would there be between "The New Oxford American Dictionary" and any "The New Oxford English Dictionary?"
I personally don't care much as I travel about with the following dictionaries and between them can almost always find as much about a word as I'll need or could get from a dictionary.
- Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition On Cd-Rom Version 3.0
- American Heritage® Dictionary, 4th Edition with Thesaurus Version 2.0
Both of the above are OSX native applications.

Encyclopedia of the New Economy
http://hotwired.wired.com/special/ene/
This is Wired's 3 part series.
My first clicks were the Big Mac index, Coopetition, Education (definition: The ability to train yourself.)
So what is the new economy?
When we talk about the new economy, we're talking about a world in which people work with their brains instead of their hands. A world in which communications technology creates global competition - not just for running shoes and laptop computers, but also for bank loans and other services that can't be packed into a crate and shipped. A world in which innovation is more important than mass production. A world in which investment buys new concepts or the means to create them, rather than new machines. A world in which rapid change is a constant. A world at least as different from what came before it as the industrial age was from its agricultural predecessor. A world so different its emergence can only be described as a revolution.

How to manage smart people
http://www.uiweb.com/issues/issue28.htm
What follows is some advice for managers on how to manager people, especially talented people. I worked for nine years at Microsoft, sometimes managing projects, sometimes managing people, but always with a manager above me. I think I’m smart, but many of the people who have worked for me definitely were. Over the years I’ve experienced many mistakes and successes in both how I was managed, and how I managed others. What follows is a short distillation of some of what I’ve learned. There's no one way to manage people, but there are some approaches that I think most good managers share.
