The Measurement Science Conference is being held this year at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach California. This is a conference that is dedicated to measurement and metrology.

Getting There

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

As you can probably see, the “look and feel” of this site is now more consistent with our sister site learningmeasure.com. It took a bit of work to figure out how to make wordpress do this, but it is complete. The main problem was to get the site to look consistent with internet explorer 6 and earlier and with actual standards-based browsers such as firefox. Anyway integrating them together is proceeding relatively smoothly now. Clicking on the “home” icon above in the menu bar takes you to learningmeasure.com, clicking on the “tv” icon above on either site brings you to learningmeasure.tv.
I have decided when I start my video podcast I will start with episode -5, and then work my way up to zero. Each of the initial episodes will have some content, but the main purpose of the initial episodes is to work out the issues with producing this content. The plan is to make episode -5 the episode I get the rss feeds working, get the podcast in iTunes, integrate the result in wordpress, and get familiar with the equipment and editing software.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for the podcast, courses, articles, etc.. I want this experience to be interactive, but not as open as a wiki. Me or my staff will review all submissions to both sites, be that articles, course content, etc..

I am still looking for people to join our consultant network. If you join our consultant network, we provide a place to post your resume, allow you to bid on jobs posted on learningmeasure.com by employers or by us, and if you are interested in producing training materials to be sold on our site, we will help with the production and split the profits in accordance with the consulting agreement. To join our network, go to the learningmeasure.com site, sign up as a student, post your resume, and send me an email at webmaster@learningmeasure.com asking to be added to the consultant network.
Currently we are looking for someone who lives in the Las Vegas area (or is willing to commute on weekends) to help produce training videos on soldering/desoldering, and on various instrumentation topics in exchange for a split in the sales revenue.

Any test equipment manufacturers willing to demonstrate their products on our podcast, please email us as well. If you are in the measurement field, and would like to be interviewed on our podcast, and you are visiting the Las Vegas area, let us know.

More Progress

Just added a new course to LearningMeasure.com, MEAS105 - SI Units - The Ampere. This is the fourth in a seven part series on the SI Units. Please comment on this, and any course you might take, as that is how they will be made better.

With the ongoing saga I am having with Prestige Camera, they finally agreed to ship what I ordered. They even said they would upgrade what I ordered. I should have what I need to start producing my video podcast in a few days.

I am still learning wordpress, and am currently trying to figure out how to match the look of this site to learningmeasure.com. Slow going, but I will keep everyone posted here until I have everything working.

Progress on Setup

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

Have recieved my initial order on a camera that will be used for our content. Have a problem with the order that will have to be resolved before we can start. Will keep you all posted here. I would love for people to comment on learningmeasure.com or what we are planning to do for learningmeasure.tv.

We are planning on develop training videos for scientists, engineers, and technicians with emphasis on topics related to measurement. That is not much of a restriction. We are also developing a podcast that we hope to have items such as a little bit of training, interviews with scientists, engineers, and technicians involved in measurement in any way, vendors doing demos of their latest instrumentation, and other topics of interest. If you visiting the Las Vegas area and interested in being on our program, contact us at info@learningmeasure.tv. If we receive the rest of the equipment in our order, we plan on starting soon.

This website will also chronicle the development of both learningmeasure.tv and learningmeasure.com. So I would like comments to this post to suggest how you think we should proceed.
