Happy July 10th.

Of course most of you won't know what July 10th means... but to me, it's a time of creative remembrance.

Yesterday, I went through what most would describe as their moment of doubt and pain, but I don't like to quantify such hard feelings. I had a tough time yesterday... the bureaucracy of our government got to me, and rightly so. But my issues are my own, and not that of the reader.

However, it seems fitting that the day after my moment of doubt and pain we should be celebrating July 10th.

What is July 10th? Nikola Tesla's birthday.

You might not be aware of who he was, or you might instead be aware of the mythical fables behind him... regardless, the man is my idol. He created everything that is responsible for the modern industrial age... and you probably didn't have a clue.

People speak of Edison, Einstein, etc... but they really fail in comparison to the awe inspiring genius that was Nikola Tesla (The Americans don't like to acknowledge him though, heh).

Radio, Remote Control, Transformers, AC electricity, Robotics... the list goes on. We owe it ALL to him... and to think the man died bankrupt. What sacrifice.
To give us everything we needed to revolutionise the world... and die without a penny in return.

Now THAT is a martyr.


You may not know who he was, but I urge you to give him a moment of silence out of respect for the work he toiled feverishly upon.

I guarantee you, you wouldn't be using the Internet, nor anything else that runs off household electricity if he hadn't.
