Do Electronics Have Feelings? How Can You Doubt It?

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 22, 2020 | General, New, Technology

This morning as I left the shower, I heard my wife barking out orders to Alexa in a very forceful tone. Although Alexa has become an essential fixture in our life when she becomes confused, we tend raise our volume and enunciate very clearly. Almost like we were...

A Look At Class Action Suits Using the Google+ Settlement

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 9, 2020 | General, New, Politics

To Mask Or Not To Mask, Why Is There Even A Question?

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 1, 2020 | Blogging, General, New

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...

The Solar Powered Chicken Coop Fan Project Revisited

by Byron Seastrunk | Jul 19, 2020 | General, New, Technology

Between Google, Pinterest and the renewed interest in keeping chickens, my solar powered chicken coop fan project has become a very popular post. Although low maintenance, I was replacing the battery every year. The Texas heat and the way I hooked it up both conspired...
An Engineer’s Observations On Becoming A Better Supervisor

An Engineer’s Observations On Becoming A Better Supervisor

by Byron Seastrunk | May 29, 2020 | Engineer, General, New

There was a time, long ago, when I thought the design was everything. Not to brag, but I was really good at it. I did the hardware, the software and the testing. I was a one man show. Fortunately, my management recognized this limited the complexity of the designs I...
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...

    While it seems like a year ago, it was only a few months ago that one of the primary initiators for this blog happened.  Microsoft released the Windows 8 beta. With the exception of Vista, I’ve always tried to use the latest version of Windows. When Microsoft released the Windows …

    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 …

    One look at my wife’s website, NaturebyCarol, and you can see she’s enamored with daylilies. As an engineer, I simply don’t understand the fascination. You put all this time and effort into a flower that only lasts a day. When I work on a project, I want it to last …
