Grammar and Rhetoric, the Drout WayWhen 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 …
Married To An Engineer, Why Can’t I Have A New OvenI wanted my wife to write this from her point of view because if anyone in this marriage has suffered, it’s her. She wants a new oven and I continue to repair the old one. As long as it continues to work, why do we need to replace it? I realized …
A Look At The Snake Slayer IV From A New UserIf you’ve ever wondered just how fast your reflexes are, try sticking your hand into a nest box occupied by a snake instead of eggs. The few times I’ve done this it took about two microseconds for me to realize it was a snake and then my hand attained warp …
Comments on Udacity vs. CollegesToday I got to read an interesting article by David Youngberg , “Why Online Education Won’t Replace College—Yet ” He gives five points to support his beliefs and even took CS101 from Udacity as research. I think he’s very right in his main assumption but he certainly picked five very …
A Late Mother’s Day Praise For Mother NatureIt’s amazing how fast time passes. This makes my fourth Mother’s Day post since I started Opinionbypen.

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!
Are you a counselor too?
Counselor is one of the few endeavors I’ve never tried. I do enjoy acting as a mentor to younger engineers but that’s an entirely different skill set.
Hello Byron, did you write these stories? Bob Rosas
Yes, I wrote them several years ago. Still writing, hope I’m getting better with each tale.
are you the engineer i met at an electronics store in dallas and later came to work with me making rocket systems ?
it sure sound like you !!!
Yes, that would be me. Or, at least, a much older and not much wiser version of that young engineer.
