Written By An Engineer, Improved By AI. Which Do You Prefer?

by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 14, 2023 | Engineer, New, Technology, Writing

A request for data: I have a problem. While I don’t intend to suggest a topic and have ChatGPT write my post for me, I’m also not going to ignore a tool I can use to make my writing better. I’ve always felt that more readers will read other posts if...

DALL-E versus Poser Image Generation, Both Have Their Place

Bringing It Altogether – An Engineer Attempts To Justify His Toys

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 3, 2023 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

Readers of my blog have been subjected to reviews on three different 3D printers, a CNC wood carver, a laser etcher and a host of solar projects. By now most of you have asked yourselves why is he doing all of this? The same is true of my wife. She eyes each new...

Married To An Engineer – The AI Version

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 25, 2023 | Engineer, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

I’m going to be up front about this post, I did not write or modify any of the text. All I did was give a word limit, a tone (snarky) and a subject (married to an engineer), the AI behind ChatGPT did the rest. After reading this, I’m both amazed and...
How My Wife Caused A Microwave To Be An Engineering Dilemma

How My Wife Caused A Microwave To Be An Engineering Dilemma

by Byron Seastrunk | Dec 28, 2022 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

    Several years ago, I found myself admiring a friend’s F16 RC model. It was almost five feet from nose to tail and although it had single ducted fan motor in the body to replicate the jet engine of the F16, it was supposed to be one of the fastest models out there. It …
  • All Natural Ingredients With Scientific ProofAll Natural Ingredients With Scientific Proof
    Have you ever considered exactly what they are telling you when you hear “all natural ingredients” or “scientific proof” in an advertisement?
