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.
As one does, I've collected some examples of good and bad technical
writing over the years. Most is unremarkable.
Yet, a few pieces defy description. They're utterly bizarre, madcap,
surreal or otherwise strange. Technical illustration, in particular,
seems to generate a lot of madness. To honour this zany detritus, I've
started the Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness
(http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/hall/).
It's in its infancy at the moment, so if you've got any weird examples,
feel free to send them along. I'm not looking for bad tech
writing--there's plenty of that out there. I'm looking for the curious
and the inexplicable. Thanks. DB.
