Every other week, I host an online discussion at washingtonpost.com. Recently my guest was Jennifer Openshaw, chief executive of FamilyFN and author of the ''Quick &amp; Easy Budget Kit." She and I took questions about budgeting. As always, there were a lot of leftover questions. So here are our answers to two of them:

"Confessions of a Wall Street Shoeshine Boy" (HarperCollins Publishing, 288 pages. $24.95) &#151; Doug Stumpf: In the cutthroat world of Wall Street, where money is king and power an aphrodisiac, most menial workers barely merit a second glance.

Tycho: Entitled "Birds Are Weird," it includes every comic from the year 2003 in addition to commentary, pertinent newsposts, the occasional travelogue, and so forth.We've also put every book that's currently out into a single bundle, which is to say four books, and then slashed the price. Or reduced it, at any rate. It's an unbelievable value, etc. (CW)TB

Suzy Welch, a former editor of the Harvard Business Review and the wife of John F. Welch Jr., the former chief executive of General Electric, has agreed to sell the rights to her book â10-10-10â to Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. A person involved in the negotiations said that Scribner paid Ms. Welch a price in the seven figures for world and audio rights to the book. Based on an article Ms. Welch wrote for O, the Oprah Magazine, in 2006, the book offers strategies for making decisions in which people think about what the consequences of a decision will be in 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years. Robert Barnett, a Washington lawyer, negotiated the deal on behalf of Ms. Welch. Nan Graham, editor in chief of Scribner, will edit the book with Samantha Martin. Ms. Welch, who wrote the best-selling âWinningâ with Mr. Welch, said she originally thought there wasnât a book beyond the article. But, she said, âI began to encounter this hunger for people who were using it to play out its nuances.â She said the book would include examples from her own life as well as others she has observed using the â10-10-10â process. Susan Moldow, publisher of Scribner, said that although Ms. Welchâs article might seem sufficient for those who wanted to know about the strategy, Ms. Moldow believed the book would sell well. âThe Scarsdale Diet fit on a Xerox-ed sheet that you could fit on the front of a refrigerator,â Ms. Moldow said. âAnd it sold millions and millions of copies. Itâs often true that when something strikes an immediate âAha!,â you really want to have time to meditate on it and try to get to know more about it.â.

Tycho: Our third book is now available on the store, if you haven't purchased it elsewhere. Entitled The Warsun Prophecies, it incorporates all the strips from 2002. I'm usually scared to read something I've written once I've written it, which may help you to understand the state these posts sometimes arrive in - but I think this one turned out really well.I've just now finished the final edits on the fourth book, which will be released... in the future. Also, on the very same store, our Fire Sale continues to rage - with the heat of a thousand bargains! Huge savings in every department, etc.(CW)TB

Last week, I had the privilege to address the North Texas Linux Users Group. Ralph Green asked me to present information on my upcoming book called "Linux System Administration" by O'Reilly. I only had the cover and the gallies, since production goes to press in early March. So, I showed those.
