Now, if I had this, I might actually consider buying a bicycle to enjoy dodging NYC traffic on.

Today is the 70th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. 2,459 people were killed that day, and today it’s estimated that there are around 7,000 living survivors from the attack.
Happy Birthday, Mark Twain.
Doodle. Today’s Google Doodle pays homage to American icon Mark Twain, featuring the famous white picket fence painting scene from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Twain, born Samuel Clemens, was born 176 years ago today in Missouri. My family’s favorite vacation spot is Twain’s house in Connecticut — located right next door to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s house! I highly recommend. Also recommended is this site showing the other doodles throughout the year.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite Americans of all time — Mark Twain!

On this day in 1877, Thomas Edison announces his invention of the phonograph.
Ever since Thomas Edison (pictured) created the phonograph after five days and nights hooking up his ears to rubber tubes, the world’s been grooving to the oldies thanks to the miracle of recorded music. But way before there was ever anything remotely resembling an iPod, listening to a particular recording meant listening to a victrola, gramophone, or phonograph, which could sound awfully staticky to our MP3-spoiled ears.
Still, there’s no reason not to break out the old LPs every once in a while and crank up that old-timey music!
I owe so much of my life’s enjoyment to this man.
