Why Does the Net Neutrality Fight Look Like A 1970’s Wrestling Script?It’s times like this that I feel fortunate to only have ten loyal readers. You see, much to my eternal embarrassment, I used to spend my Sunday mornings watching wrestling. That was a long time ago and I was fairly sure it was fake staged but the constant battle of …
A Plateau In Blogging, Which Direction From Here?When I was teaching fencing, my colleagues and I often observed an interesting phenomenon. If a student made it through the beginning classes, odds were good that they would usually stick with it for another six months. It was at that six month mark that students started to drop out …
What’s Amazon Whispersync And Why Do I Care?I think I’ve stumbled on a great way to save money on books from Audible.

Hi again Byron, I am the same one who discovered your website today, posting comments online for the first time ever. I’m so glad you’re putting a voice out there for our engineer friends and family. Because if you aren’t an engineer yourself, it’s kind of hard otherwise to understand the parts that are internal thoughts, formulas and just how things make sense. Your articles are a good reminder that we need to keep encouraging kids (boys AND girls) into the engineering fields. Thanks!

Hello Byron, did you write these stories? Bob Rosas

Yes, that would be me. Or, at least, a much older and not much wiser version of that young engineer.
