by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 11, 2021 | Blogging, New

Baby Knowledge, An Important Concept In Being Understood

by Byron Seastrunk | Jun 29, 2019 | Blogging, Engineer, General, New, Writing

When we moved out to our ranch, my wife had to impress on me that horses were not merely big dogs that we could ride. Wagging their tail does not indicate pleasure at seeing you. Rolling on the ground doesn’t always mean their back itches and yawning certainly doesn’t...

Creating An Alexa Podcast For OpinionByPen Using Amazon Polly

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 10, 2019 | Blogging, General, New, Technology
