Natasha’s Art Candy

After reading Chris Brogan’s post on keeping things in perspective when it comes to working on the Net, I thought of some things that I always want to help others understand, AND to remind myself of what they really are. Here’s a beginner’s Geek to Real World Term Guide.  Please share this with your friends and if you have any other ones you’d like to add, lemme know in comments section. And comment if there are things you don’t know too!
