For a while now, I've been thinking about my engineering education, and feeling a little bummed because I wasn't using it. That is, until I realized that although I don't deal with metals and materials like I was trained in, I am an engineer.
To me, engineering is simply designing the best way to accomplish a certain task, optimizing all resources in the process. Running a household and raising children is the task, money, time, energy, and intelligence are the basic resources. There are sub-tasks involved, such as creating fun, economical Halloween costumes, or covering those disgusting dining room chairs (seriously, cushioned dining chairs do not go well with kids).
And although I talk about optimizing resources, tasks, and processes, the most important outcome of my work is the joy and love shared in this family, as we work toward our eternal goals.
This site is going to be an outlet for my engineering results. So many times when I'm working on a project, I'm thinking to myself how much I want to 'show and tell'. So that's what this is. Hopefully it'll be interesting, with projects I complete, time and money saving ideas I come across, whatever. We'll see; I know it will evolve as I go along, because I evolve.
