Musings on technical writing...

Welcome to my Blog!

Ok, so I decided to jump onto the "blog bandwagon" and create my own blog.  I am such a tool.

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is not so much to disseminate technical information - plenty of Web sites for that - but rather to discuss technical writing.  As editor of a popular ASP/ASP.NET Web site, I have written literally hundreds of online articles, and have edited hundreds of articles from other writers.  I have written, currently, five books on ASP/ASP.NET, and a slew of magazine articles.  With this experience and exposure on 4Guys, I get asked quite frequently a multitude of questions on technical writing, from how to get started to how to write more useful, concise, and interesting content.  The point of this blog, then, is to share this information and experience I've gathered over the past four years.

Welcome to the blogging world. Are you still in Rolla?

No, I moved to San Diego after graduating from Rolla in May 2000. Been here ever since, much nicer weather! :-)

I just got out of Rolla myself. Moved to Austin, TX. Summer sucks a little more but I'm looking forward to this winter.
