Profile
- Job Title:
- Technical Writer III
- Company Name:
- Philips Heathcare
- About Me:
- I got interested in Technical Writing when I sat down and did a skills analysis on myself (it was a very simple analysis) and went looking for a career that would keep me busy, interested, and growing. In 1989, I graduated from a 3 year diploma course but I haven't stopped growing and being interested. Don't even start me talking about busy. I currently write the measurement and analysis content for ultrasound manuals. I know more about blood flow, volume measurements for various parts of the anatomy, and cardiac diagnosis and repair than you can shake a stick at (unless, of course, it is a me-sized stick). When I'm not hip-deep in content, I work on wrestling our Documentum docbase to the ground, or exploring the tools and techniques of DITA. When I ride the bus home at the end of the day, I transform myself into a peaceful writer and photographer. I walk my dog (and my cat who likes to come along) around my neighbourhood looking at the signs of life. During tax season, I cook dinner for my wife, during the other 8 months of the year, she cooks dinner for me.

As I sit here in Bora Bora, I can finally take a breath. It’s 6 pm. I have been trying since 5 pm to tear myself away from my cube so that I could take a few minutes to clarify my thoughts regarding our Content Management System. Lest you think I am sitting on a [...]
