engineering: the application of scientific principles to design and build things of value
This is a blog about applying engineering principles to household management and personal decision-making problems. It is an unusual personal finance and lifestyle blog in that I make no attempts to tell anyone what to do. Instead of tackling a problem by giving a recommendation, I try to tackle problems by describing the world as accurately as possible. Sometimes that means a bit of math, physics, thermodynamics, physiology, or medicine. Regardless of the topic, my goal is to explain the subject without shying away from relevant technical details. Plenty of other blogs do that, this one does not.
I hope you enjoy reading this and I hope very much you find the information valuable and understandable.
