Listen here: Powerpoint This podcast on Trends in Technical Communication is a recording of a presentation I gave at the Missouri State University Workshop for Teachers of Technical Writing on April 22, 2010. Although trends in technical communication could cover a variety of topics, I chose to focus on four trends: hybrid roles, social media, collaborative authoring, and multimedia. Here's the description of my presenta...

As I implemented the Organize Series plugin for my long essay about moving From Overlooked to Center Stage, an interesting idea dawned on me: The Long Tail applies to writing as well. The Long Tail is an economic principle claiming that an abundance of little sales of niche products eventually outproduce the mega sales of mainstream products. For example, Amazon.com may not sell many 1970 Grateful Dead glass mugs, but if it sells 10,000 n...

Of all the podcasts I listen to, I enjoy This American Life the most. I enjoy it because Ira Glass, the show's producer, has a keen sense of story. Not story in the sense of fables or fiction (which you can listen to at Storynory or The New Yorker Fiction podcast).
