Chopped, A Guide To Inspiring Engineering Creativity?

Chopped, A Guide To Inspiring Engineering Creativity?

by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 19, 2020 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New

Let’s get this out of the way first, despite it being a reality based cooking show, I enjoy watching Chopped. Not because of the cooking, although I have learned why my wife insists she needs both a stove and a microwave. No, I enjoy Chopped because it...
Why is An Engineer So Brutally Honest But Still Can’t Read A Schedule?

Why is An Engineer So Brutally Honest But Still Can’t Read A Schedule?

by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 13, 2020 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, Technology, Uncategorized

For a marketing person, introducing a potential customer to an engineer is the stuff nightmares are made from. Engineers can be brutally honest about technology. Note I said technology. We’re perfectly capable of lying. Ask us about schedule, percent complete,...
Cooped Up With An Engineer For A While? Maybe This Will Help.

Cooped Up With An Engineer For A While? Maybe This Will Help.

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 21, 2020 | Engineer, Married to an Engineer, New

In these times of uncertainty and outright panic, it seems almost irresponsible to publish a post on living with an engineer. I certainly can’t argue the logic behind that line of thinking. On the other hand, the prospect of being cooped up with an engineer for an...
The Eternal Conflict Between Human Behavior And Engineering Logic

The Eternal Conflict Between Human Behavior And Engineering Logic

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 8, 2020 | Blogging, Engineer, New

The popularity of my Married to an Engineer posts tells me that most of you have difficulty understanding how engineers think. As an engineer, I can tell you that difficulty is mutual. We try to design based on rational human beings and the truth is most of you are...
Time Travel As Viewed By Einstein. A Simplified Discussion

Time Travel As Viewed By Einstein. A Simplified Discussion

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 15, 2020 | Engineer, General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

Time travel, I don’t know of any other concept so used and misused in Science Fiction. Although judging from Avengers Endgame, a lot of writers have problems with the concept. Still, despite the inherent paradoxes, from the time I was first introduced to the concept,...
Companies Not Reading Your Complaints? You’re Probably Dealing With A Chatbot

Companies Not Reading Your Complaints? You’re Probably Dealing With A Chatbot

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 25, 2020 | Engineer, General, New, Technology

Ever write to a company about a problem and their response made it obvious they weren’t reading your message? No, it’s not your spouse moonlighting as customer support. Odds are, you’ve just encountered a chatbot. Chatbots have been around as long as...

  • Engineers From Technicians, A PerspectiveEngineers From Technicians, A Perspective
    In electronics you have two classes of knowledge experts, Engineers and Technicians. I’m ignoring the programmers for the moment because they only complicate this discussion.  The distinction between the two classes can become very blurred but Engineers are expected to create designs, while Technicians implement and troubleshoot those designs. At …
  • Reliability, Warranty and Why Nothing Lasts As Long As It Used ToReliability, Warranty and Why Nothing Lasts As Long As It Used To
    Five years ago I had to make an emergency run to Fry’s because the video card in my wife’s computer had died and she had a raid scheduled with her gaming guild. With a wide selection of high end cards, I selected her current card because it had a lifetime …
  • WaitingWaiting
    Just as I feared, I got the wrong name for my website. It’s a very small thing but still annoying. I had selected OpinionByPen.com and then realized I might want more than one opinion. Easily fixed or so I thought. I then registered OpinionsByPen.com but my hosting account was still …
  • The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology?The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology?
    When I started this blog, I knew that I wanted to stay more or less on technical issues. Politics was an issue I would avoid. Aside from too many other talented people writing on politics, there was also too much rhetoric, emotion and a seeming lack of ability to do …

    I decided to try WebhostingHub because $10 for a year of webhosting looked too good to pass up.  What I did not expect was a wonderful example of poor communication. I admit it, I’m cheap. I follow Rick Broida on Twitter because he comes up with some real bargains. When …
