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...
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...

A Look At Class Action Suits Using the Google+ Settlement

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

When my sister asked me to write a post on class action suits, I greeted it with all the enthusiasm shown to managers showing up at the last minute asking for a white paper, before close of business. Never mind that the need has been languishing on their desk for the...
Why Are We Allowing The News Media To Manipulate Our Opinions?

Why Are We Allowing The News Media To Manipulate Our Opinions?

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 16, 2019 | General, New, Politics

I know, I vowed no more political blogs but that was last year. This really isn’t about politics anyway. It’s about the manipulation of our society by the news media. I believe the divisiveness we see today is driven largely by this manipulation. Remember...
Windows 10 Versus Chromebook, What Does Intregity Have To Do With It?

Windows 10 Versus Chromebook, What Does Intregity Have To Do With It?

by Byron Seastrunk | Nov 4, 2018 | Blogging, New, Politics, Technology

I’m writing this on a Chromebook. Think of it more as an experiment rather than a review of Chromebook capabilities. Why? When my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I saw it as an opportunity to upgrade my computer. A little research and I realized that...
Stop Insulting My Intelligence, A Rant For The Rest Of Us

Stop Insulting My Intelligence, A Rant For The Rest Of Us

by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 8, 2018 | Blogging, General, New, Politics

I’m tired of people insulting my intelligence. No, I don’t mean the comments on Opinionbypen suggesting my writing is only slightly better than what my dogs could write or the few choice words my supervisor uses after reading my latest progress report....

  • An Engineer Attempts Valentine’s DayAn Engineer Attempts Valentine’s Day
    Today is that most feared of all days, Valentine’s Day. You don’t fear Valentine’s Day? That can only mean you’re not an engineer or you’re not married to an engineer. Still not understanding? As an engineer, I automatically analyze all aspects of my life. When it comes to romance, I …

    It was a dark and stormy morning. No really, despite sounding like the start to a bad novel, it’s extremely appropriate given where I was headed and what I was facing. I was supposed to be one of many lecturers at an event aptly called “Writers in the Field,” a …

    Think about this. You’ve known for a while that your company was having some issues. Your company seems to be slipping in its market position and recently the board of directors can’t seem to agree on anything. Your manager calls you into his office to tell you that the board …
  • Why Does A Request For Advice So Often Result In An Argument?Why Does A Request For Advice So Often Result In An Argument?
    If there’s anything that can cause conflict between my wife and me, it’s a misunderstanding of my role in life when she makes a request for advice. Hmm, I said that poorly, let me give an example. You’re sitting at your computer, trying to understand why your 3D printer is …
  • A Dangerous Trend, Amateur Social IsolationistsA Dangerous Trend, Amateur Social Isolationists
    I’ve always dreaded social gatherings. It’s not that I can’t do small talk, no, that would be a lie. I’m abysmal at small talk. Thirty seconds into my part of the conversation, I start seeing blank stares and glassy eyes. At forty five seconds, they usually develop an urgent need …
