Hi All, I am gradually interviewing people who played a role in the formative stages of our industry. These interviews are posted as podcasts to help newcomers obtain a sense of where we have been and for us older folks to refresh our memories. Along this line, I have just posted a 13 minute podcast on the early days in the 50s and 60s of signal measurements as well as EMC with Michael King. He contrasts those days with the current state of our field. The discussion is very interesting. The files are posted as the July 14 episode at: http://emcesd-podcast.com The direct links to the files are: http://emcesd-podcast.com/2006/july/2006-0714.mp3 http://emcesd-podcast.com/2006/july/2006-0714.dcs same file but ending in .dcs for those who cannot access mp3 files. Just change .dcs to .mp3 after downloading. I have also posted a new "Doug Unplugged" informal podcast dated July 16 to my "Doug Unplugged" page: http://emcesd-podcast.com/unplugged/index.htm The direct links are: http://emcesd-podcast.com/unplugged/2006/July/2006-0716up.mp3 http://emcesd-podcast.com/unplugged/2006/July/2006-0716up.dcs This program discusses life without an IT department (home computers or self-employed) and how to help keep computers safe. If you would like me to interview you over the telephone for a podcast like the King podcast above, just send me an email. I think it is a good idea to get our technical history recorded before the people who lived in the early days of our industry retire.
