Okay, so, today I’m gonna walk you through my little adventure with something I stumbled upon called “eric stearns.” Honestly, I didn’t know much about it going in, but hey, that’s how you learn, right?

First off, I googled it. Yeah, pretty basic, I know, but you gotta start somewhere. I was looking for any kind of info, articles, projects, anything that would give me a clue about what this “eric stearns” thing was all about. I found a few links, mostly related to some person…possibly an academic?
Next, I tried to see if I could find anything on GitHub. Figured if it was some kind of project or tool, there’d be a repo. I searched around, using variations of “eric stearns,” “eric stearns project,” and “eric stearns [specific field like ‘software’ or ‘data science’ if that applied].” Nothing super relevant popped up, but I did see some profiles with that name. I clicked on a few, looking for any kind of public projects or contributions that might hint at what they were working on. Still pretty vague.
Since I wasn’t getting anywhere with code, I tried a different approach. I started digging around on LinkedIn. Maybe it was a professional thing, a method, a framework, or something. I searched for “eric stearns” and filtered by location and industry, just to see if anything stood out. I found a couple of people with that name, looked at their profiles, checked their work experience and skills. One guy seemed to be in the educational field, so I snooped around to see if they had published anything. Still felt like I was missing a piece of the puzzle.
After that, I decided to see if “eric stearns” was associated with any academic papers or publications. I hopped over to Google Scholar and ran a search. Bingo! I found a few papers authored or co-authored by someone named Eric Stearns. Skimmed through the abstracts and introductions to see if anything clicked. One paper mentioned something about [related term, if any], which gave me a vague idea.
So, at this point, I had a bunch of scattered information. A name, a possible academic background, maybe a project related to [vague topic]. It was time to try to bring it all together. I decided to focus on the academic paper I found and see if I could find any related work. I looked at the citations in the paper, the authors’ other publications, and the keywords associated with the paper.

Then I tried to put it all together, I summarized all my findings in a simple * file. Like a basic project documentation, if anyone else stumbled upon “eric stearns” and wanted to know where to start. Just a bullet-point list of the links I found, the keywords that seemed relevant, and the potential areas of interest.
Finally, I just accepted that I might not be able to figure it all out perfectly. Sometimes you just have to explore, gather information, and then move on. It was a good exercise in online research and information gathering, even if I didn’t end up with a fully defined “eric stearns” product or method.
That’s it! My journey with “eric stearns.” Not a roaring success, but definitely a learning experience. Hope this helps someone else who might be curious about it.
