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.
Reminds me of a bit that Rich Hall did on one of the talk shows years ago.
Host (Conan or somebody): So, what was it like growing up in your house?
Rich: Well, I guess you could say my dad did a lot of talking with his fists.
(Hush comes over the audience and the host, who is sorry he asked.)
Rich: He was a puppeteer.
(Huge sigh of relief and laughter from the audience.)
Rich: Yeah, you know: "You'll never amount to anything, you'll never amount to anything" -- hearing that from a piece of felt and a ping-pong ball all day was a lot to handle.
