Psalm of an Engineer - Revised Version |
|
Verily, I say unto ye, marry not an engineer. For an engineer is a strange being and possessed of many evils. Yea, he speaketh always in parables which he calleth formulae. He wieldeth a big stick which he calleth a slide rule. And he hath only one bible, a handbook. He thinketh only of strains and stresses, and without end of thermodynamics. He showeth always a serious aspect and seemeth not to know how to smile. He picketh his seat in a car by the springs thereof and not by the damsels. Neither does he know a waterfall except by its horsepower, Nor a sunset except that he must turn on the light, Nor a damsel except by her weight. Always he carrieth his books with him, and he entertaineth his sweetheart with steam tables. Verily, though his damsel expecteth chocolates when he calleth, She openeth the package to discover samples of iron ore. Yea, he holdeth her hand but to measure the friction thereof, and kisseth her only to test the viscosity of her lips, for in his eyes shineth a far away look that is neither love nor longing, but a vain attempt to recall formulae. Even as a boy, he pulleth a girl's hair but to test its elasticity. But as a man, he deviseth different devices. For he counteth the vibrations of her heartstrings And seeketh ever to pursue his scientific investigations. Even his own heart flutterings he counteth as a measure of fluctuation. And his marriage is but a simultaneous equation involving two unknowns. And yielding diverse results. Verily, I say unto ye, do not marry an engineer. ...from the Inflection Point web site |

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... All trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other rights of ownership to images and text used on the RF Cafe website are hereby acknowledged. My Hobby Website: AirplanesAndRockets.com
