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.

> However, last weekend I was attending a CERT training class. The instructor, an EMT, asked us to introduce ourselves and say what we do for a living. I simply said that I am a tech writer; his response was "Oh, wow!", delivered in a sincere and appreciative tone. (People who depend on accurate writing DO appreciate us.) Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
