The Loss of A Subscriber; You’re More Important Than You Realize.I lost one of my subscribers a few days ago. Although I never met the man but I always appreciated his willingness to read my posts and to remain a subscriber. I feel bad that I didn’t know more about him. It’s obvious that we could have been friends or …
A Plea For An End To Tiny Instruction ManualsOne of the movies being released this Christmas is Downsizing, a tale of people being shrunk to reduce their cost of living by reducing the resources needed to support them.

Congress, Too Focused on Being Politicians? – Part 2There’s an old saying “The enemy of my enemy is my ally”. Congress has certainly made me see the truth of that.

on Whatever Happened To Compromise And Acceptance?Brilliant and accurate at every point!
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!

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