An Engineer Muses On Fictional WritingIf you’ve seen the movie, Apollo 13, you remember the scene where the mission director comes in with a box of stuff dumps it on the desk and says this is what we’ve got, make it work. I don’t think there’s an engineer out there who wouldn’t love to have …

Married To An Engineer – The AI VersionI’m going to be up front about this post, I did not write or modify any of the text. All I did was give a word limit, a tone (snarky) and a subject (married to an engineer), the AI behind ChatGPT did the rest. After reading this, I’m both amazed …

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.

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.
