    Star Wars

    I find Star Trek more interesting than Star Wars because it seems more like realistic sci-fi based in actual physics, but there seems to be way more inspired electronics toy maker technology associated with Star Wars.

    The Old Man and the Sea

    I need to make money. But I no longer have the energy to survive in an intense corporate job. I’m interested in how people make a living in the stock market. It seems like it’s not the same thing as gambling. I heard mutual funds are a pretty safe investment. I’m intrigued and inspired by...

    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...

    Technical Management

    I was wondering what kind of direction, tools, data I need to give to the engineers and technicians in my group. How do I write good specs for them?

    Bug-finding

    I test software on set-top-boxes. I'm weak at finding problems, issues, and bugs. I mostly run test scripts and procedures, basically spec-testing. How can I become a better end user and ad hoc tester, so I can increase the number and quality of my bugs. I don't want to lose my jobs. Being...

    RadioShack Electronics Learning Lab and Sensors Lab

    Hi All, I've been working through the projects in both the RadioShack Electronics Learning Lab and RadioShack Electronic Sensors Lab. I've noticed many of the projects are similar to each other, with a slight change. Are there more circuits that can be built...
