Married To An Engineer – The AI Version

Married To An Engineer – The AI Version

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 25, 2023 | Engineer, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

I’m going to be up front about this post, I did not write or modify any of the text. All I did was give a word limit, a tone (snarky) and a subject (married to an engineer), the AI behind ChatGPT did the rest. After reading this, I’m both amazed and...
How My Wife Caused A Microwave To Be An Engineering Dilemma

How My Wife Caused A Microwave To Be An Engineering Dilemma

by Byron Seastrunk | Dec 28, 2022 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

I guess you could say my dilemma started somewhere over twelve years ago when a Panasonic engineer in the microwave division made a poor decision. Then again, Panasonic continued to build these long after the defect was obvious. He may have received a hefty bonus for...

Married To An Engineer: When Does Repair Become Replace?

by Byron Seastrunk | Sep 18, 2022 | Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology, Uncategorized

“I know engineers better than that! They would never throw away a 3D printer that quit working without trying to repair it first.” These words were exclaimed by my wife as she watched a credit card commercial showing engineers trashing a malfunctioning printer and...

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...

  • Speed Reading, the Good and the BadSpeed Reading, the Good and the Bad
    I’ve always been proud of being a speed reader. With light fiction I can hit about 1000 words a minute. If I’m scanning a document for key words, I can push it far above that. It’s not a skill that I was taught, it just sort of developed. When I …
  • First Impressions and a Great SteakFirst Impressions and a Great Steak
    We’ve all been told how important first impressions are. From dating to job interviews we’re lectured constantly that people will judge us based on their first impressions. If you’re like me, you also believe that people are rational beings and will easily overcome those first impressions once they get to …
  • Tired Of Being Spied On? Support Data Gathering TaxesTired Of Being Spied On? Support Data Gathering Taxes
    It’s fall again and with the lower temperatures I tend to take longer showers. Those of you that visit my site frequently know what that means, more time for me to think about solving world problems. My first shower of the season and I think I’ve really found a gem …
  • A Proposal For Developing Engineering SynergyA Proposal For Developing Engineering Synergy
    If you work in a factory you’re used to hearing management babble, just think about your mission statement. If it’s like most mission statements out there, it’s a collection of meaningless phrases. Take this for example, “Utilizing our engineering synergy, we will develop a paradigm of waste cutting and improved …
  • Whimsy, This Engineer’s Stress ReliefWhimsy, This Engineer’s Stress Relief
    Such a funny word, whimsy. It’s almost self-defining, although that could be because I’ve known what it meant for so long. For the rest of you, it’s defined as a capricious humor and I think there’s far too little of it in today’s life. Most people tend to think of …
