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.

Truth in advertising: my own academic background is in the humanities with
major focus on integration and harmony between the humanities and sciences
(I dislike even writing those two out that way because it suggests an
intrinsic alienation which I think is logically--certainly not
historically--wrong).
