How The FCC Wants To Improve Rural InternetI caught on to Santa Claus fairly early in life. It’s unfortunate then that it took me so long to realize that, despite their strongly spoken rhetoric, my government really doesn’t care about helping me. Sometimes this truth is so evident that I question my intelligence in ever believing their …
Data Mining For Personality CluesI find understanding people every bit as difficult as trying to crack an encrypted file. I spend a lot more time at trying to understand people because I believe communication requires mutual understanding. While taking Udacity’s Cryptography course I learned about the use of side channels to help in decrypting …
Married To An Engineer, Sometimes You Have To Call The ProfessionalsSometimes you have to call the professionals. In a story, you have time to develop all your characters. You let the reader discover how they look, how they react and their motivations. Good writers do it seamlessly. Too bad I’m not that good (yet), so, I’m taking the easy route. …

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.
