Staying In Touch With Old Friends Is HardWebster defines friend as a person you like and enjoy being with. I couldn’t come up with a better definition on my own but this seems like describing a pasture full of bluebonnets as a bunch of flowers in a field. It’s correct but totally misses the point. For example, …
History, How To Reduce Events Into Meaningless DataHistory, we know what that means, we’ve endured hours of study on the subject but we’re missing the point. Not only that but the scholars and teachers abandoned us long ago. I fully subscribe to the fact that history repeats itself and we can best understand our future by studying …
Windows 10, Microsoft Doesn’t Get ItHave you ever been listening to someone and thought to yourself, “they just don’t get it.” No, I wasn’t talking about our politicians. Although given their actions over the last few year, it’s obvious that they don’t get it either. Instead I was talking about some of our leading industries …
Poser Debut, an Engineer’s ReviewI think Smith Micro has a real hit with Poser Debut. As a engineer I’ve always been impressed by an artist’s ability to convey a message using a minimum of information. If I want to represent a bird in a picture I immediately think of feathers, beak, eyes and wings. …
How To Be A Successful Mass MurdererI’m not going to ask why you’re here. We’ve all thought about it. The jerk cutting you off on the freeway, the traffic jam you were stuck in because you were cut off or maybe it’s just the people you have to work with. You know, the ones demanding you …

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.
