From the Bloggers

November 2015

The TechCommNZ blog is yours to enjoy, share, and contribute to! We showcase two recent posts from Tim Grey and Claire Nicholson.

In his recent blog post Thinking Inside the Box, Tim Grey reports on the light-bulb moments he enjoyed at Patrick Hofmann's workshop Away with Words – The Semantic Sequel. Patrick toured New Zealand last month sharing the lessons he's learned about words and graphics while working on Google maps in Sydney over the last few years. The feedback from the workshops was excellent, and if you weren't able to attend, Tim's article gives you a peek at what they covered.

Meanwhile Claire Nicholson has been thinking about what is, and more importantly what isn't, in her job description in a recent post It's not my job (or is it?). This is a must-read, especially for anyone who accepts every challenge and volunteers to solve every problem. She also references some thought-provoking articles from other writers, such as Neal Kaplan and Tom Johnson.
