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.
So, do we have any tech-whirlers who worked at JPL on documentation for the
Pathfinder project? I've been watching NASA TV with a serious case of
nerd-envy. (Partly because I was a geophysics major for two years and can
empathize with the scientists who are excited about "all the cool rocks" at
the landing site.)
My husband, an engineer/physicist has it even worse -- though his company
did get a tiny piece of the famed Mars rock to image with their atomic force
microscopes. (They didn't find anything new in the little chip they got.)
