Blinkdagger has partnered up with Tradepub.com to offer our readers a wide variety of magazines and technical document downloads. Being that we get a fair amount of visitors who are looking for MATLAB help, it’s probably the case that these same people might be interested in tech/science magazines.

So how does it work? Click here, or click on the ads on the side bar and you’ll get a glimpse of what Tradepub has to offer. The best part is, everything is free! I would recommend though that you do read the fine print and make sure that you are not signing up for a free trial + paid subscription if you only want the free stuff! I suggest keep track of how long the free subscriptions are. Also, good magazines/downloads have a cap on how many they can offer for free. So first come first serves! Read through their Frequently Asked Questions if you have any concerns.

Daniel and I have looked through the magazine and digital document downloads selection and we were impressed with the selection. There are a slew of magazines that focus on chemical engineering, plastics, hydrocarbons, space technology, and a bunch of other stuff. If you’re looking for reading content, you should take a gander (remember, it’s free!).

Engineering not your cup of tea? Luckily, tradepub has a copious selection of magazines that span across all sorts of subjects. So take a look if you’re interested!

Other News

I was checking the RSS feed count today, and blinkdagger has surpassed 500 RSS readers! To commemorate this joyous occasion, Daniel has created a new header and RSS icons. If you’re reading this through the RSS feed, you may have to pay our website a visit. We hope to continue bringing our readers useful tutorials and other engineering tidbits.

In the next couple of weeks, we’ll be wrapping up the MathWorks Interview series. We plan to start cracking on the MATLAB tutorials once again as well. The holiday seasons have really cut into our free time, but we do have some great things in store.

New Blood

We are excited to announce that Zane Montgomery will be joining the blinkdagger team. Zane is a fellow Harvey Mudd alum and will be a regular contributor on various MATLAB and engineering topics. His area of emphasis will be on mechanical engineering and control & dynamical systems engineering.

In addition, a newly minted MathWorks employee, Davide Ferraro, will also be contributing! Stay tuned for the new influx of content that will be heading your way.

And let’s not forget our resident Statistician, Rob Slazas. He’s not new blood, but he’s an integral part of the team and I’m sure our readers are eagerly anticipating the next installment on his series for hypothesis testing.
