Microsoft: Error Messages!: In trying to keep up with a post-election promise to not spend too much time on the schadenfreude (hey, Emacs knows that word!) of the circular flying squad of flying attack monkeys now known as the Republican Party, let's start off with this: a document from Microsoft on how to write error messages.

High-End Photoshopt Tutorials: I really like some of these, and I'll have to see just how applicable most of them are for The Gimp.
