Welcome to the mid-month September 2009 edition of our eNewsletter. I just returned from Washington D.C. where I attended a film school boot camp. I was lucky that the Tea Party march on the Capital was the same weekend so my task to shoot "characters" was a no brainer - they were everywhere. One of my goals for attending the boot camp is to bring more robust and educational video content to MachineControlOnline.com about the exciting world of positioning.
I have finished the first iteration of our MCo Guided Tour. I hope you will check it out. The link is below under “Current Articles”.
The week of September 21st is a busy one regarding trade shows. InterGEO will be underway in Karlsruhe, Germany as well as the ION Show in Savannah, Georgia. I personally will be at ION and hope to bring you information from that show. InterGEO will also be covered as Marc and Allen Cheves (of The American Surveyor Magazine and Spatial Media) will be in attendance.
I hope you enjoy the newsletter and please stay tuned visiting us often as we update the website daily.
