Why FLOSScience?

The idea for this site has been percolating around in my brain since last year's NECC. Where I was presenting some of my Budget Probeware stuff in the Math/Science Playground. Someone recommended that I become the Open Source Science Guy since I was showing how to use Audacity to teach sound. Well, opensourcescience.com was already gone, so I bought FLOSScience.com. (FLOS = Free/Libre Open Source)

I like the idea of FLOS. Free in this case does not meant "no cost", but instead means the content can be used in nearly any way the consumer desires. I say nearly, because there is one caveat. If you incorporate my content in your work you must give me credit for my work and you must release your work under the same liscence. Basically, I'm just asking that you share your content in the same way I'm sharing mine.

So, what will you find here? Most of my stuff is aspected towards what I teach. So, it will mostly be physics and electronics. However, there will be other science stuff included as well.

Anyway, have a look around. In addition to this blog I have also set up a webpage (using Google Sites). The webpage is mostly a collection of posts from my old blog on technology in education, but new stuff will be appearing there as well. I'll be using this new blog to highlight new material as it appears on the site and to mention other cool stuff I find.

For the next week or two I will be posting once a day to highlight all the material that is already on the site. After this, my posting will probably become less regular.
