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.
I spent several wonderful days up in St. John's, NB, Canada over the
holiday weekend at a great B&B. On my last morning there, the owner, while
setting up breakfast, asked me the question any person who does what he
does might ask: "So, what is it you do for work over there in Chicago?"
Expecting the usual glazed eyes if I replied with any more detail than, "I
write and edit procedure manuals..." that's what I responded. He
processed that for a second or two and then returned with, "Uh
huh...women's books."
His wife got quite a charge out of that one. So did I. Hope you all will,
too.

three and a half days of immersion in the state of the art:
