Lies, Truths and AI, How Can We Determine What’s Real?

by Byron Seastrunk | Jun 21, 2025 | Engineer, General, New, Politics, Technology, Uncategorized

Before I make a major purchase, I usually spend a lot of time studying reviews. It’s frustrating that you can’t trust them anymore. It’s become a real struggle to figure out which reviews are genuine and which are complete fabrications. Even when you...

A 3D Printer On Every Desk? It’s Not As Ridiculous As You Think

by Byron Seastrunk | Jun 2, 2025 | Engineer, General, New, Technology

I’ve been fortunate to witness and take part in some truly groundbreaking innovations as they transitioned into mainstream use. One thing that’s remained remarkably consistent throughout all of it: management was almost never ready—and rarely grasped the full benefits...

How To Become A Crypto Millionaire, Or Go Broke Trying

by Byron Seastrunk | Mar 21, 2025 | General, New, Technology

Let me start by saying my view of crypto is limited—and very negative. Trying to be fair about the subject, I turned to ChatGPT for a better understanding. Here’s what I finally came up with. Crypto has no intrinsic value—none. Its value comes only from what people...

Lamp Replacement For My Hotpoint Freezer

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 2, 2025 | Engineer, General, New, Technology

I know, I hinted at a video, but after careful deliberation, I decided lamp replacement was way too easy for my first video. There are many direct replacements available on Amazon, even if you don’t want to cough up the $40 for an OEM replacement. Although the...

Whitewall Nebraska, A Study Into Current Reality

by Byron Seastrunk | Dec 18, 2024 | General, New, Technology

I’m proud to announce that I’ve been elected mayor of Whitewall, Nebraska. It was unanimous—or will be as soon as I update the websites I created for this event. Of course, you’ve probably never heard of Whitewall, Nebraska. That’s not surprising because it doesn’t...

Christmas Ideas From My Fox Alien 4040 Vasto

by Byron Seastrunk | Nov 24, 2024 | Big Tomato, Engineer, General, Married to an Engineer, New, Technology

Shortly after I retired, Fox Alien put their 4040 Vasto CNC on sale. The timing was perfect. I had already decided I wanted to get serious about carving wood, and although I had highly modified my 3018 (now a 3040), it was limited. First impression: the Vasto is...

  • A Suggestion For Improving Political Candidate EvaluationA Suggestion For Improving Political Candidate Evaluation
    Prior to retirement, I interviewed a lot of people. While the job varied, the process never really did: review the resume, select candidates, and then interview them. It took me longer than it should have to realize just how often people lie—on resumes and in interviews. HR was always clear …

    When you put two mirrors face to face you see thousands of identical images. That’s an infinity mirror. You frequently see them in fun houses. How could that relate to the some of the darker aspects of the Internet? First, I need a really strong parable. Several decades ago, while …
  • Reviewing My Blog MistakesReviewing My Blog Mistakes
    My nature causes me to review all my actions. This can be formally, as I do at work, or very informally, as when I review my actions of the day just before going to sleep. When I do these reviews, I try to be honest about my successes and failures. …
  • How The FCC Wants To Improve Rural InternetHow The FCC Wants To Improve Rural Internet
    I caught on to Santa Claus fairly early in life. It’s unfortunate then that it took me so long to realize that, despite their strongly spoken rhetoric, my government really doesn’t care about helping me.

    When I was comparing back up software, Acronis, Paragon and Aomei, the licensing terms were very different. Paragon provided updates until they released another major update.
