TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The one course I can point to was a class in 18th century French
literature. We studied Diderot and les Philosophes, and the great
Encyclopedie (sorry for lack of accent mark). It was the first time I
realized that an ostensibly impersonal reference book could be instilled
with personal opinion and bias. (I now read Newton's Telecom Dictionary
for amusement at work.) It makes me thankful for present-day methods of
compiling dictionaries and encyclopedias, and thankful for the Web,
which is so full of--hm, bias and personal opinion, with a few facts
thrown in for good measure!
