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.
Oh, the joy of it! I'm a tech writer on the Techwhirler's list AND
today's my birthday! Now in my just-past mid-50s, I'm too old for
costumes and house-to-house trick-or-treating, but if I weren't so old,
perhaps a good choice would be with some big sheets of cardboard and
lots of big sheets of paper arranged like a "sandwich-man" of days old
so I'd sort of resemble an animated book.
But instead of "Eat at Joe's" on the front, it would say "User's Guide
from Hell" with all the inside pages blank.
Anyway, I never thought I'd even be this old, but here I am anyway and
never to retire.
Cheers,
-- Ken in Atlanta

Subject: OT: Any TW-related costumes today?
Last year my co-worker and I dressed up as the Help button (?) and the
F1 key. This year we teamed up with Development and have dressed up as
IBM developers from the 1940s (white shirts, skinny ties, glasses,
slicked-back hair, etc) which is, as you might imagine, a nightmare
"costume" of any developer used to working in casual/business casual
clothes on a day-to-day basis.
Any other TW-related costumes out there today?
