Married to an Engineer, It’s More Complicated Than You Think

Married to an Engineer, It’s More Complicated Than You Think

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 18, 2022 | Engineer, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

Unless you’re also an engineer, living with an engineer is an exercise in controlled frustration. Engineers live so closely tied to technology that we automatically assume everyone else has the same love and understanding of technology we do. My house is filled with...
The New Chair, An Engineer’s Journey In Buying A New Chair

The New Chair, An Engineer’s Journey In Buying A New Chair

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 21, 2021 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New

Last week the bracket securing the arm of my gaming/ current office chair broke.  I’ll admit I’ve put on a few pounds during my Covid isolation and I never intended it to sub as a full-time office chair. Still, I haven’t gained that much weight and the chair was less...

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...
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...

  • An Engineer’s Plan For Romance On Valentine’s DayAn Engineer’s Plan For Romance On Valentine’s Day
    It’s not that I hate Valentine’s Day but I certainly have reason to fear it. From my point of view, nothing good comes from this holiday. Forget it and I’m in the doghouse. Use the day to tell my wife I love her and my wife questions me about the other 364 …
  • Technology Or Magic, Is There a Difference?Technology Or Magic, Is There a Difference?
    Do you believe in magic? If you answered no, why not? The evidence is all around you. As an engineer I have a very pragmatic view of the world. I’ve been taught the scientific method. I’ve been taught math, physics and chemistry as foundations of science. I’ve been taught that …

  • After The Crash, Comparing Backup Software, Acronis, Aomei and ParagonAfter The Crash, Comparing Backup Software, Acronis, Aomei and Paragon
    The idea behind a software review is to give an unbiased appraisal of the program. Unfortunately most reviews are anything but unbiased. As hard as I tried, this review is no exception. After my experiences last month, I decided to see what else was out there for backup software. Given …
  • Symbols Of Power, The Exclamation PointSymbols Of Power, The Exclamation Point
    They say symbols have power. My first response as an engineer is to deny that. Symbols don’t have any power, the power of a symbol is based only on our perception of the symbol. You could say symbols represent power. If we’ve never seen the symbol or don’t recognize it, …
