Why Did Amazon Kill Amazon Explore? It Was Becoming Great.

Why Did Amazon Kill Amazon Explore? It Was Becoming Great.

by Byron Seastrunk | Oct 28, 2022 | General, New, Technology

Why did Amazon kill Amazon explore? Let me start this rant by admitting I am an Amazon fan. I love the large selection of merchandise and the quick delivery. I’m a member of Prime and I frequently use their credit card. Still, they do enough boneheaded things that I...
Married To An Engineer: When Does Repair Become Replace?

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...

The SainSmart Jinsoku LC-40 Laser Engraver, A Review

by Byron Seastrunk | Jun 26, 2022 | General, New, Technology

I’ve always been fascinated by lasers. When I was much younger, I tried to make one using an LED and a transistor for amplification. Fortunately physics was against me and I think we’re all happy my attempt was a failure. That failure did nothing to diminish my...
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...
Why Can’t I get The Internet Speed I’m Paying For?

Why Can’t I get The Internet Speed I’m Paying For?

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 29, 2022 | Engineer, General, New, Technology

This year my electric company made me a deal I couldn’t refuse, 1000 Mbps Internet. Only two years ago, I was still living with two very questionable ADSL lines from AT&T. On a good day I might get 1.2 Mbps. Last year T-Mobile Home offered service in my area and I...
Can A Love Of Reading Be Considered A Secret Advantage?

Can A Love Of Reading Be Considered A Secret Advantage?

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 7, 2021 | Engineer, General, New, Technology

If you were to ask me what my professional secret advantage is, I would say I love reading. Seems to be a strange thing to brag about.  After all, almost all of us can read. The fact that you are reading this post says you can read but do you enjoy it? When you need...

  • A Look Back at Some of My Favorite PostsA Look Back at Some of My Favorite Posts
    Each post I write is a snapshot in time. Sometimes I go back to correct them or add a little more information but I’ve learned that I always need to continue looking forward. Rewriting my old posts, as much as they might need it, doesn’t give me time to write …
  • Grammar and Rhetoric, the Drout WayGrammar and Rhetoric, the Drout Way
    When I wrote my post on the confusing rules of writing, the last thing I expected to find was an answer. Two months later not only have I found several answers but I have a better insight into the way I learn. All thanks to two books on rhetoric and …
  • The Solar Powered Chicken Coop Fan ProjectThe Solar Powered Chicken Coop Fan Project
    Summers in Texas are brutal, especially if you’re a chicken locked up in your coop every evening. Sure, it’s for their own protection but on those evenings with little or no breeze, it can get very stuffy. Adding an electric fan would help but running a 200 foot extension cord …
  • A Futuristic Design Concept, REPTILEA Futuristic Design Concept, REPTILE
    Today’s post doesn’t fall into any of my normal categories. It won’t educate you or make you think about an issue. It won’t give you a better idea of how to cope with an engineer (although you will see the imagination that my wife has to put up with). No, …
  • Communication As Seen By An EngineerCommunication As Seen By An Engineer
    Communication, the human race has been attempting it for thousands of years. Whither it’s art, music, writing, movies, even this website, it’s all a form of communication. With that much practice, you would think we’d be better at it. Honestly, I don’t know why we aren’t better at it but …
