Abstract:

To a non-practitioner, the art of technical writing is a nebulous pursuit to be avoided at all costs. The territory is ripe with jargon and Rube Goldberg devices that are not to be trusted. Besides, who in their right mind would want to be a "Technical Writer" (whatever that is)? But to the artisan, technology and language are the subject and medium in which we create our masterworks.
