Ask Ryan

There exists a lot of questions out there that have yet to be answered. Too many in fact. We have decided to step up to the challenge, to fight for the cause, to throw our hats over the wall. We will boldly answer where no engineer has answered before as we seek to reduce that mountain of unknown to but a mound of mystery. And all in the ultra crisp clarity of e-prime for your reading pleasure.



When are engineers going to rule the roost?

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan  

Have you ever seen that marketing executive drive by in his Ferrari or that sales rep pass you at the lights in his Porsche and wonder why you only drive a 1990something Ford despite the fact that the job you do probably entails far more important work than what the sales rep or the marketing exec does? Well wonder no more because today we take a peak at the future for engineers and I can foretell the goodness. The geek shall indeed inherit the earth.

What is the best tool that an engineer can posess?

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan  

This represents a difficult question to answer. After much pondering and deliberation (and just a sprinkling of wasting time on the net), I have come to the conclusion that no single best tool that an engineer can posess exists. It turns out that a combination of 2 tools that work together makes the best solution. One becomes the ying to the others yang. The combination comprises the hammer and duct tape. Indeed one posesses the ability to destroy virtually anything while the other has the virtue of fixing virtually anything and make almost anything.
