As many of you know, I'm active in the local chapter of the technical writers' professional organization, the Society for Technical Communication (STC). We meet monthly for dinner and a presentation. This month, we're having something that may be of interest to Web414 folks. Keith Hoffman, a tech writer and football podcaster from Madison is coming to talk.
The event is at Klemmer's in West Allis, 10401 W. Oklahoma. If you want to have dinner, you have to RSVP at www.stc-wi.org by Tuesday and pay $20 (yeah, I know). That starts at 6pm. If you just want to come for the talk, that's $5, and you can just show up (though RSVPing is nice). If anyone wants to come and can't afford the $5, let me know.
I suspect the discussion will be at a pretty basic level, but I hear Keith is an interesting/entertaining guy. I will also tell him about Web608.
"Official Verbiage":
Every day, hundreds of thousands of people are engaging in conversation on the Internet. As mobile audio and video have risen to prominence, the opportunity to connect to your audience over these channels has never been greater. This presentation will cover:
