guyball.com                         Guy Ball, technical communicator               I'm a technical writer by trade -- presently producing hardware and software documentation for a leading engineering and manufacturing company of high-level test equipment.

In addition, I've written three books and numerous articles (for reference books, newspapers, encyclopedias, and magazines). My photography has been used in a variety of books and other periodicals. I've also produced and published a variety of publications for others, including something I'm very proud of -- a series of mini-books I've done as a volunteer for a local non-profit, historical organization. In the new-technology arena, I am part of a small, fast-response digital video team and have produced a large number of video-based engineering and training delivered via DVD/CD and streamed on the internet. I'm also involved in continuing research regarding better ways to deliver documentation including electronic book technology and the handheld devices to deliver text-based or video documentation. Beyond that, I do a bit of volunteer web design and internet implementation for two local preservation groups as well as for a California state-wide historical organization I favor.  I also am involved in promoting the accessibility of web sites to the visually impaired. I've been on the advisory committee for the Digital Media Center, an innovative, small-business incubator being built by the Rancho Santiago Community College District and the advisory board for a proposed technical writing certificate program at Orange Coast College. I'm a senior member of the Society for Technical Communication (STC). If you'd like to contact me, email me at guy@guyball.com.  I live in the Orange County (Southern California) area.
