This is the comment and feedback site where we can exchange thoughts and ideas with interested visitors to all our sites: About Temperature Sensors, lehos tecHeadlines, TempSensor.net, TempSensorNEWS.com, MeasurementDevices, MeasurementMedia and Measurement Databases.

It grew out of our other websites because there was no easy way for people to feedback in them. Yes, we tried several ways over the years but mostly got spammer input with some real feedback buried in the chaff. Now, using the WordPress site design we find that the anti-spam features are quite robust and make the job for us a lot easier and also for you, since you will be more easily heard.

Now we are moving into the area of tech talk. I’ll kick it off by relating some successes and failures from my learning process in making measurements.

I’ve already published a few articles on related topics so I’ll draw on them for reference, but most of the real stuff is unpublished.

I am reminded on a quotation attributed to the late Dr. Richard Feynman, famous popularly for his role in the Rogers Commission to understand the NASA Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, but renown among physicists for his theories, teaching abilities, insights and wit. His thought expresses the truth far better than anything I could write:

“We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, …. So there isn’t any place to publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work.” — Richard P. Feynman, Nobel Lecture, 1966

This is one of those places where we can put down what we actually did, in a dignified manner, as far as I am concerned.

Things really move along as we discover more and more pod and videocasting options about ways to better understand measurements and education. We will be adding more references to these technologies and featuring examples that I like and think are really useful interspersed with the other content.

Check out the post for today, September 25, 2007. for example.

I am literally amazed at the progress that one Science teacher, Steve Dickie in Dearborn MI ,has made and the almost matter of fact way he explains it and its benefits in working with Physics students,
