You Have Choices

During my childhood, I always think Is it up to us to choose our life. I always heard from the poor poeple saying that life is very hard and working hard is a must for them in order to maintain current life style.

Personalizing your profile page

I had to step up "My Page" -- my personal profile page on The Command Post -- because other members' pages put mine to shame! I don't want to name names -- Jamie and Marie Hartis -- but there are some spectacular-looking pages on here. Even "Anonymous" added a funny video. I hope you will take a look around The Command Post and become inspired to infuse your own page with your personality. This is your space (hmm, a spin off of MySpace perhaps? YourSpace?), so g'head and make it your own! I can'… Continue

Test & measurement innovations?

This is an industry of innovators. I know this to be true. I see evidence daily. And yet, I have been researching the area of electronics test and measurement for some time now, and I have come up nearly empty-handed, at least in the mil-aero realm. (I find near-daily reports about test and measurement as it concerns environmental and "green" issues.)
