How To Drive Customers Away, Why I’m Done With Netgear

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 14, 2021 | General, New, Technology

Over the years I’ve used a number of Netgear modems, routers and switchers but this weekend I received what will be my last Netgear product. It’s a simple Wi-Fi range extender and probably works well but Netgear’s attempt at customer retention is not...
Whatever Happened To Compromise And Acceptance?

Whatever Happened To Compromise And Acceptance?

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 19, 2021 | General, New, Politics

I have no mouth and must scream is a short story by Harlen Ellison. Unfortunately it also very accurately sums up my feelings on American politics. I’ll confess to avoiding Twitter and Facebook. I have my website but I’ve accepted that the stats on my website...

The SainSmart 3018 PROVer CNC Router, A Review

by Byron Seastrunk | Dec 7, 2020 | General, New, Technology

Given the number of posts I’ve made on 3D printers, it’s safe to assume that I feel I’ve mastered the basic techniques. Still you always wonder if the grass is greener on the other side. In my case, thanks in part to the Covid blues and...

Want To Be A Great Writer? You Need Great Characters

by Byron Seastrunk | Nov 22, 2020 | General, New, Writing

Why this topic? Why now? Perhaps an explanation is in order. Recently I had to send a white paper I had written several years ago to a colleague having similar problems. Prior to sending it, I took the time to read it and almost spent the rest of the day rewriting it....
Why All The Negative Political Ads? Are Politicians Afraid Of A Position?

Why All The Negative Political Ads? Are Politicians Afraid Of A Position?

by Byron Seastrunk | Oct 25, 2020 | General, New, Politics

I just finished exercising my political rights by voting against all the candidates so far from my own political views that I had no choice but to vote for their opposition. Looking back on my experience, I realize every vote I made was for the lessor evil. I did my...

How To Get A Solar Powered Potting Table. Married To An Engineer

by Byron Seastrunk | Sep 26, 2020 | General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

I’m not going to say I was manipulated into my solar powered potting table but looking back at it, the signs were there. Shortly before our anniversary, my Wife started showing me potting tables made by other men for their wives. The thing was, none of these tables...

    2020 certainly was nothing like what we anticipated. We have politicians giving medical advice and orders based on nothing but their own fears and pocketbooks. We have doctors absolutely amazed that we’re ignoring their advice. Really, when was the last time you had a doctor explain anything clearly to you. …
  • Amazon Polly For WordPress, A Review And Maybe A PodcastAmazon Polly For WordPress, A Review And Maybe A Podcast
    It’s inevitable that having mastered their own specialty, an artist will go on to explore other media. For example, a painter who has worked with oils will probably try watercolors. An experienced electrical engineer will probably think he’s capable of doing mechanical engineering. For myself, I’ve spent the last few …
  • Death By Productivity ImprovementDeath By Productivity Improvement
    Have you ever screamed in frustration when your favorite software company announced that they had come up with new methods of productivity improvement? Personally I’m tired of all the help I’m getting. Windows 8 serves as a perfect example of a productivity improvement that nobody wants. Unless your job consists …
  • It’s Absolutely Impossible For Us To Stop Being An EngineerIt’s Absolutely Impossible For Us To Stop Being An Engineer
    We all do it. When we’re reading a book or watching a movie containing elements of our expertise and the story does something so ridiculous that we find it impossible to enjoy the story. Even worse we find ourselves sharing our disgust with anyone willing to listen. My wife finally …

    If you had a time traveling camera and went back four years ago to my bedroom in the evening (mind out of the gutter) you would often see my wife and me reading our books before calling it a night. A year ago you would see us both reading our …
