Open Book as Advertised by Tony Green

I am an open book as claimed

Multiple people have mentioned to me they noticed the amount of information I have made available about myself on my personal website.   Upon reviewing www.tony green.name you will find out hordes of facts about my life history, my background and my interests. I usually respond by replying the,”open book” nature of my website comment is by design. In case I mentioned some fact about myself in a conversation why shouldn’t the on line version contain the same information?

A method exists to “my madness”. For example, a circumstance could exist where you might be examining the possibility of working with someone as a potential hire for your company, or a possible business partner or perhaps as a client in the event you are a proprietor. Why not be up front in letting people know who you are and where you come from and, most importantly, what you are about?

Does this sound odd? Think about it, do you really think anything is private in this age of FaceBook and Google? We hear all the time about picture or characterizations placed on line by other people which are either misleading or simply untrue. And worse yet, unseen Internet surfers are judging your character by the information they find on line, even if the picture depicted is unflattering. 

I suppose if you wanted to accuse me with being and an “open book” then I am guilty as charged. I accept full responsibility for taking the opportunity to construct my on line image before someone shapes it for me.

  

Worried about flying the Boeing’s dream liner? – Don’t, it will all work in the end by Tony Green

The images seen in the news recently of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner landing as a result of smoke emanating from lithium ion batteries is alarming indeed.

Upon initial glance this may seem like an abnormal occurrence. Please do not misinterpret my meaning; there is nothing normal about anything smoldering on a new airliner just minutes into its flight. However, the reality is every large piece of OEM equipment contains some glitches which need to be resolved in the field after its initial shipment from the factory.

I learned from my experience in the semiconductor industry working with OEM equipment used manufacture integrated chips on occasions there are windows of time where if a functional piece of machinery is not delivered to its end-user the window for delivery and, more importantly, implementation into the intended design will be lost for good.

Therefore, in many cases the equipment is made as bug-free as possible, ensuring the safety is not in question permitting several of its minor glitches are worked out later after delivery to its end-user.

The airplane manufacturing industry is no different in this regard. In fact, Airbus, Boeing’s main competitor in commercial aircraft has experienced similar concerns with its past shipments on new airplanes.

In the case of the Semiconductor equipment and the Airbus airlines the issues were able to be worked out in due time. My advice would be not to worry, about this temporary setback. The Dreamliner will be fine in the end as a result of the work and talents of various teams of engineers, technicians and managers.

For now though even, I cannot help but to think about whether I would hold off my initial flight until that point has been reached. Smoking lithium ion batteries are not something I would want to deal with until any issues are solved, not during ……
