Today’s Thoughts

A nice late fall day. I got my haircut this morning. The stylist who has been cutting my hair no longer works there, so I had a new lady.  She did a very good job; I hope she stays. Cryptocurrency has never intrigued me. It is interesting that the country most likely the leader of stealing cybercurrency is North Korea. It has been reported that they have stolen about 3 billion USD to support their growth of nuclear weapons program. That is more than scary.

Important inventions…NEW

1954: Microwave Oven In 1945, Raytheon’s Percy Spencer stands in front of a magnetron (the power tube of radar) and feels a candy bar start to melt in his pocket: He is intrigued. When he places popcorn kernels in front of the magnetron, the kernels explode all over the lab. Ten years later Spencer patents a “radar range” that cooks with high-frequency radio waves; that same year, the Tappan Stove Co. introduces the first home microwave model.
