@AcademicChatter I collect and curate engineering stories. I continue to be fascinated by semiconductor manufacturing processes, in particular defect occurrence. I write, post, tweet regarding technical leadership. I advocate for all nuero-diversities
@dcuthbert@Google How about the safest route, turns at controlled intersection or roundabout
A route with the fewest stop signs or traffic lights.
Decades ago I learned a rout to the airport from a taxi driver. Now I teach it to taxi drivers because Google maps doesn't even suggest it
Remembering @tmeixner this evening at a faith formation event, Roman Catholic. Hope was mentioned multiple times. I remembered that my brother' s posting of this quote was shared in the first family statement after his brutal murder. Crying has not been easy. Tears come now.
Having worked for someone senior enough - these people don’t run their own lives. They don’t cook. They don’t clean. Don’t do groceries. Don’t do the garden. Don’t pick up kids. Don’t fetch their own medicine or dry cleaning or correspondence. 60 hrs is doable. FOR THEM.
@ZachsORoutdoors Heard about this on the radio this morning. Risk assessments always make some people unhappy be they rural homeowners or semiconductor executives.
Planning for potential high risks needs to be done. State resources are limited
Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
@PhysInHistory Engineers get things done. their focus is on "how.". Physicists add to our understanding of natural phenomenon. Their focus is on "why."
@tmeixner articulated this to me in the summer of 2015. Sigh...I miss him every day
#liveliketom and be excited that there is competition for urban flood and water quality management.
Don't forget that local elections affect your neighborhoods more than the federal elections.
