Reverse-engineering is a term that is used for the process of
taking apart something to figure out how to use it, basically.
In many cases, something new and great has come about from it.

Geek-Speak or techno-babble is pervasive. It seems that we are
so impressed with our technical knowledge and expertise that we
forget our audience. As I stated in my first article "Geek-
