You have used Emacs and TeX more than enough for this. Just write what you find interesting, it doesn't have to give a full/representative insight. Those articles are often boring to read as well. For several years I wanted to put together an essay style anthology called "The Emacs World". This would be in style like this UNIX book [1], so it would be a "cultural history" for hackers, but not a manual or a book with the purpose of enhancing anyone's skills, just knowledge, "facts for fans" if you will. One chapter would be Emacs-w3m, one Gnus, one Elisp, and tho I never thought of it until now, why not one TeX?
