Based on the post title, I was going to answer "Checks."
Since you're talking about essays...I dunno.
But, seriously, aren't you being a bit presumptuous? I mean, are you his agent or something? ;-)
Writing is a very personal thing, especially when you are really into it and not just doing it for the grades or money. I imagine that pg has more ideas than time at this point, since he obviously spends quite a bit of time crafting each essay and soliciting input from his friends. I'm not comfortable giving essay ideas for pg when it is not him soliciting the ideas...
Sorry to be a party pooper.
Maybe you should try to solicit ideas for yourself to write about, and then YOU can be a "thought leader," too.

I'd like to see pg provide more info about Arc.
In particular, I want to know how Arc handles concurrency, e.g. native threads, Erlang-style concurrency, etc.

Expand on "develop a nose for bad writing." What are some signs of bad writing that might not be obvious to hackers? What have you discovered as you write new essays and see how they work on your audience?
