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.
And worth it at half the price (maybe you can haggle and get them to
pay you to take it off their hands) if you need to raise your monitor
to correct viewing level. Old phonebooks probably work better, though.
My take: If you're going to just make it up as you go, you can do it
yourself and have fun doing so instead of wasting bookshelf space on
MMOS. You could also just subscribe to Wired. Occasionally they're
quite entertaining.
