Time Travel As Viewed By Einstein. A Simplified Discussion

Time Travel As Viewed By Einstein. A Simplified Discussion

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 15, 2020 | Engineer, General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

Time travel, I don’t know of any other concept so used and misused in Science Fiction. Although judging from Avengers Endgame, a lot of writers have problems with the concept. Still, despite the inherent paradoxes, from the time I was first introduced to the concept,...
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out by Richard Feynman, Too Enjoyable?

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out by Richard Feynman, Too Enjoyable?

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 3, 2019 | General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out by Richard Feynman was an unexpected treat. You would expect a collection of lectures from a Nobel Winning particle physicist to be dry, containing lots of math and another incomprehensible discussion on why they believe certain...
Most of My Knowledge Started With Failure

Most of My Knowledge Started With Failure

by Byron Seastrunk | Nov 27, 2016 | Engineer, General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

There are people who say I have an enormous ego, not that I disagree. I’ve gone so far as to write about my ego, although in that post I attributed my ego to being an engineer. There are even a few people who believe I deserve to have a big ego. So much for truth...
Considering What E=mc2 Means To Science Fiction

Considering What E=mc2 Means To Science Fiction

by Byron Seastrunk | Jul 10, 2016 | Blogging, Engineer, General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

In a world where we have to struggle just to keep up with the latest in technology, it’s all too easy to take things for granted. For example, we’ve all seen Einstein’s equation, E=mc2. Most of us know the equation has something to do with mass, energy and the speed...
Amazon vs Hachette, A Consumer’s View

Amazon vs Hachette, A Consumer’s View

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 15, 2014 | Blogging, General, New, Science Fiction

In the current argument between Amazon and Hachette, I’m not qualified to discuss the finer details of price points and author royalties. What I can discuss is my opinion and my response as a consumer. I don’t expect anything I say to influence Hachette. I...
What’s Amazon Whispersync And Why Do I Care?

What’s Amazon Whispersync And Why Do I Care?

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 23, 2014 | General, Science Fiction

I think I’ve stumbled on a great way to save money on books from Audible. It doesn’t work every time and your savings tend to vary dramatically but when it works you feel like looking over your shoulder to see if the Amazon police are watching. It’s no secret that I’m...

  • Do Electronics Have Feelings? How Can You Doubt It?Do Electronics Have Feelings? How Can You Doubt It?
    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 chastising her …
  • Why I’m Proud of My WifeWhy I’m Proud of My Wife
    Most of my regular readers are probably tired of me talking about Udacity and I promise you that they only play a small part in this post. My wife has watched me spending a lot of my time studying my coursework and doing homework. She’s certainly seen how frustrated I’ve …
  • Why I Finally Allowed Microsoft To Put Windows 10 On My ComputerWhy I Finally Allowed Microsoft To Put Windows 10 On My Computer
    Today is the thirtieth day after I finally gave in and allowed Microsoft to put Windows 10 on my machine.  That’s an important number for Windows 10. If you change to Windows 10 and decide you don’t like it, you have to do a roll back before 30 days have elapsed. After that …
  • How A Hijacked Post Helped Me Realize The Value of CommentsHow A Hijacked Post Helped Me Realize The Value of Comments
    When I said I wanted to expand my Opinionbypen experience, I was thinking more about advertising and social media. I didn’t mean getting my website hacked or getting one of my posts hijacked and yet so far this year that’s exactly what’s happened. There’s no other way for me to …
  • Cooped Up With An Engineer For A While? Maybe This Will Help.Cooped Up With An Engineer For A While? Maybe This Will Help.
    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 extended period can …
