Fun: Shipment of Fail

To celebrate finally noticing an important typo on this page, I visited a site I love to waste a few minutes on: shipmentoffail.com. If you’re really, really easily offended, or if your boss/IT department is a douche bag, you should probably save this (occasionally, mildly offensive) site for home. Of course, I just said douche bag, so you’re probably already in trouble or at home.

More on the future (or lack thereof) of tech communications

It sure has been a while since I posted. I got distracted, first by a crazy busy deadline, then by a lovely little vacation out west. I’ll plan another get-together for Atlanta area folks soon…maybe for next week. I’ve heard Thursdays are better for a bunch of folk, so we’ll shoot for that.

In the meantime, I am going to piggy back on a couple of other blogs that have posts related to the future of technical communications. The first one continues to seek an explanation of my favorite topic: games and social media will put tech writers out of business soon. It’s at  http://24by5.com/wordpress/?p=33 Well, OK, the writer doesn’t quite make the connection between “social media” and “death of tech writing” that I do, but he does have some interesting thoughts about why nobody needs help with Second Life.

The other is on Holly Harkness’ blog. I bet there are zero people reading my blog who don’t already read either Holly’s or Mike Hughes’, but I’ll go ahead and link to Holly’s link here. http://dontcallmetina.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/future-doc/
