comment If these colors all have the same lightness, then why does my brain tell me some are lighter than others?
Is this a color perception question or a design question?

comment Text flow - when to say “no”?
@horatio - true. And yet for some odd reason images placed in MS Word with no text wrap are labled "in line with text". Yet another reason I don't like laying anything out in MS Word. But for some reason the phrase stuck in my head this morning.

comment Text flow - when to say “no”?
Right - in official documents (and even submissions to some journals) the rules are right there. I'm looking for more "this is what I've found works for me" or "I had a design professor who said you should have x number of characters or y percent of space to flow text around".

They tell me that kerning and leading elves will be supported in HTML5.

comment Where to ask for free work?
Particularly if it's a company, quid pro quo is often a good arrangement. I've gotten a couple of free months of gym memberships, oil changes, and even a remote starter for my car in exchange for design work. These were all small, local businesses and the quid pro quo was understood up front - "I'll create a front page and associated graphics for that page in exchange for a remote starter being installed in my vehicle".

comment What's the best way to print a mostly black 8.5“ x 11” page?
Print it on someone else's printer. Maybe a neighbor who has a fancy wireless printer and no clue how to turn wireless security on.

Well, if you add the glow radius to the spacing it might solve that issue...

comment Graphic design/color compositions for waveform presentation
If you're interested in EKG recognition, I would suggest Dubin's "Rapid Interpretation of EKGs" - brilliantly written, and you can actually start doing some EKG recognition by the end of the first real chapter.
