The Silicon Graybeard

In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.

Photo of the Day From Last December

I've had this since getting it in some sort of mailing last December, and it just strikes me funny every time I look at it.

Standing inside the machining center is Tatiana Whitlock, professional shooter, trainer and her own brand. The photo was taken for an announcement she was becoming an "ambassador" for ATEi Guns. The guy in front of her goes unnamed, and is holding a rapid change tool holder with an end mill that's more reasonably sized than the drill bit Tatiana is holding. Compare the size of the drill bit in her left hand to the gun in her right.

The fact that I find it funny probably makes me a target of SJWs for some reason or other. Meh. Isn't everybody?
