Happy Nikola Tesla Day!

While not an official festival there are movments to recognize the 10th of July as Tesla Day.  In case you did not know who Tesla was you should know that it is thanks in no small part to him that you can read this blog post or any for that matter.  The father of AC current and the radio (sorry Marconi), he was unapriciated during his life and died alone and penny less.  His pursute in science and not business pushed him to study many things and not profit much at all.  Both Edison and Marconi took advantage of his lack of business savey either expoiting his work or pushing there own over his.

So today take a moment to think how electircity changes your life and what it would be with out it maybe even take a moment to check out some of the information on the web, this is a great articale were you can learn even more.

And if him creating AC and radio aren't enough don't forget the Tesla Coil and how cool those are:)
