Wow, how relaxing that is to write.
I note that a numbr of my co-authors are sharing snippets of their essays on their blogs or on the blogs of others. So here's a snip of mine.
Have you heard of a TV show called "I Led Three Lives???” Now we all live three lives. Our personal lives that we live in offices and homes, where we socialize with friends, chat, work, argue, shop, listen to music and do everything that we all do. There are our private lives -- those parts of us that we keep to ourselves, and perhaps to our spouse or the people we're closest to -- the failings, the fears, the deep desires, the dark thoughts, the revolutionary zeal. And then there are our digital lives -- the homunculus we create online, with words and pictures and videos and emoticons.
Every day, we all choose what of us we share online, what sort of persona we create, how much of it is true to how we see ourselves and how others see us. But when we die, our digital lives will linger like our last exhalation. How do we choose what to leave for our children and the world? Should our digital selves be deleted? Left to decay as our bodies do? Or preserved?

Howdy, Bob - great name, by the way!
I know how you feel about having finished your chapter; it's great to be a part of it, but the ?pressure! :-D
I don't mean to be a stickler here, but aren't there a lot more authors than this?
