    Electronics seems like magic!

    Moore's Law is the observation that the number of transistors on a microchip roughly doubles every two years. It was first made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. It is not a physical law, but an observation of a long-term trend in semiconductor technology that has driven progress in...

    Life After Layoff

    I got laid off after the pandemic because I thought I was better than I was. I thought I was more valuable than I was. I wanted to continue to work-from-home like most everyone else at my company. Even though I was there for years, but I got laid off. Now I find myself over the hill...

    Electronics seems like magic!

    It’s amazing that with just a handful of electronic components (eg. the basic elements are just the resistor, inductor, and capacitor) you can build really complex devices. It’s equally astounding that with a handful of logic gates (ie. you really only need the NAND gate) you have the basis for...

    Star Trek

    I’d like to retire as part of a team, an organization, working on projects as thrilling and exciting as this: Is this what it’s like to work at Boeing or NASA?

    Star Trek

    I hope that AI, 3D-Printing, and Molecular Nanotechnology can produce for me this young early version of Joan Collins: She was quite the looker back then.

    Trolling

    Jordan Peterson does a good job diagnosing online trolls: But no one ever provides suggestions to help treat internet trolls. Does that mean they’re a lost cause, and we should just lock them and throw away the key?

    Artificial Intelligence---What is the Hardware Behind it?

    I think AI can be potentially more dangerous and uncontrollable because: At least humans have that over machines.

    Star Trek

    Star Trek inspired me to pursue electrical engineering in school. I wanted to be like Mr. Spock and Scottie. I actually joined the Navy because I thought it was going to be as cool and exciting as my favorite Star Trek scene of all time: Unfortunately the reality was not glamorous at all...

    Artificial Intelligence---What is the Hardware Behind it?

    Will Artificial Intelligence eliminate Software Quality Assurance jobs? They say computer programmers will be put out of work. What about the software testers? Are they pretty much safe and untouchable? It’s hard to mimic the human user because humans can find ways to break things that AI can’t.

    Trolling

    Trolling may indicate social and developmental retardation. It could be a cry for help.

    Bug-finding

    Is Software Quality Assurance still a lucrative career field? I heard AI (Artificial Intelligence) will take away the jobs of computer programmers, but the industry will still need software testers.

    Hi, can you help me get an Electrical Engineering dream job?

    I’m over 50 and I don’t have any experience. I do have a degree, but I never felt confident enough to go after a career as an Electrical Engineer. Is it too late for me? I am old and tired, a dried up prune with a low-IQ who doesn’t know anything. I’m also a super-slow learner with a bad...

    What makes a successful engineer?

    Having fun while making a lot of money. Is a six figure salary out of my reach? I want to be the one in the office relaxing, with my feet on top of the desk. I want a golden parachute. I want to be untouchable. I want my organization to be self-sufficient, run itself, so I can relax, have...

    What makes a successful engineer?

    It seems like in some work environments, the people who work hard and go the extra mile get passed over. They get used, treated badly, and are not appreciated. While those who sit around and don’t do much, get promoted. Haven’t you experienced this type of reverse reality?
