Beside just writing about technology?
I provide a lot of QA testing support. The corporation that I work for has never really invested much in a QA department until recently (roughly 2 years ago), so a lot of existing features were never tested at all, or just given a cursory testing. My primary role has been to document these features, and as a result, I end up doing a lot of testing.
