Engineering Judgement?

If you care why I named this blog what I named it, I'll explain. Well actually I'm going to explain either way, so there!

"Engineering Judgement" is a skill used by pro engineers to make decisions based on a combination of information and intuition. It's a poorly defined and often misunderstood ability - hence why I like it!

When I hear the words “engineering judgement”, I know they are just going to make up numbers.
Richard Feynman, 1988

I thought the term was a fine blog name, because of its double meaning - I am also a Judgemental Engineer!

Welcome, traveller. How you arrived here is a mystery, but won't you stop for a cup of tea and a slice of cake?

This blog will soon become a receptacle for random thoughts of all sorts.

Some of this will be related to the fact I'm going to uni soon (I'M GOING TO UNI! DID I MENTION THAT YET‽) Yes, I'm ridiculously excited about that.

Some of it will be the type of random thought that occurs to me sometimes when I'm bored; dead interesting but far too geeky to mention in polite conversation. So I'll put it here just to free up some space in my brain.
