TechWhirl: Technical Communication Recap for July 26, 2013

[TechWhirl Admin <admin -at- techwhirl -dot- com>]

Summertime blues getting to you? Afternoon storms that make the homeward
bound commute a bigger adventure than it should? Slipping deadlines because
of the sheer number of O-O-O replies to your emails? Competing with
tourists in line at your favorite lunch spot? We actually aren’t going to
be much help with any of those scenarios, but if you’re looking for some
interesting, thoughtful, debate-inspiring, and otherwise high-cool-factor
content, take a look at what we brought you this week.



If you’re bored by water cooler chat or looking for a way to expand your
horizons, remember, we're always on the lookout for those that love it when
a plan comes together. So if you're interested in writing for TechWhirl as
a member of the Special Writers
Unit<http://techwhirl.com/tech-writer-today-magazine/swu/>,
drop us a note <http://techwhirl.com/contact-us/>, we have lots of
opportunities for bylines, and a pretty decent cool factor. And don’t
forget to stop by the email discussion list <http://techwr-l.com/> for
helpful, interesting, and occasionally cantankerous viewpoints on all
things tech comm.



Then grab a cold beer, a hot burger, and an umbrella. “There ain’t no cure
for the summertime
blues,”<http://www.metrolyrics.com/summertime-blues-lyrics-eddie-cochran.html>but
at least now you're totally prepared.



Have a great weekend!
