Success at Work : Techniques : Computer Literacy
By Stephen Bucaro
It's hard to believe that there are people in today's workforce who don't know
how to use a computer. In today's society, being computer illiterate is
equivalent to being functionally illiterate. Obviously no one reading this
article is computer illiterate, but maybe you know someone who thinks they can
avoid computers and still be successful at work.
Let me tell you a story about a good friend of mine back when I worked at Motorola.
The company moved the manufacturing of automobile alternators offshore, resulting
in his transfer to my department. Although he had about 20 years with the company,
this was to be his last stop before being booted out the door.
He was assigned to me as an Electronics Technician, and the first assignment that
I gave him was to lay out a small printed circuit (pc) board. It was a tiny circuit
for a tester, so computer drafting was not required. He could just sketch it out
on paper. After several days, he came back to me explaining that he didn't have
the technical ability to lay out a pc board.

Basic Computer Thermodynamics
By Stephen Bucaro
That desk in front of you and everything else around you is made up of atoms. An
atom consists of electrons orbiting around a nucleus. An atom is increadibly tiny.
You could line up 10 million of them inside a millimeter. What if we could scale up
an atom so that the nucleus was the size of a basketball? The orbits of its electrons
would then be 15 miles away.
From this you can understand that atoms are almost all empty space. The nucleus of
the atom is composed of quarks. If you could see a quark or an electron up close, it
might appear as a tiny vibrating glow of energy. It turns out this world that is
causing us so many problems and so much stress is mostly an illusion!
The electrons orbit the nucleus at about the speed of light. If you could see them,
they might appear as a blur. They do not orbit in a plane like the pictures in books.
They create a shell. Sometimes two or more atoms will share electrons, causing them to
link together forming a molecule.

Color Harmony in Web Design : Part 5 The Color Wheel
By Stephen Bucaro
When designing a website, one of the first questions that comes to mind is "what color
scheme will I use?". The choice of colors for your website is very important because the
first message a visitor to your website receives is the psychological message that color
communicates. To choose an effective color scheme for your website requires a basic
understanding of color theory.
Sir Isaac Newton created a color system which uses red, yellow, and blue (RYB) as primary
colors. He arranged his colors in a "color wheel" as shown below.
