Is it me or is today (1 January) the most birthdays for members on the site?
Just (quickly, before midnight) look at how many members are sharing the same birthday!
.
And then click on a few randomly and view the "last active" date they were online here
Many have been gone for years now
I think that was a case of "Im not going to tell them my birthday" so they leave it alone and it defaulted to Jan 1. I saw that this morning and laughed.

Ever wonder how much crap leaks from your microwave oven? These levels are not strong or dangerous, but if you have odd troubles with your WiFi or Bluetooth device when the oven is running, now you know why.
My laptop in the kitchen/dining area, when I am making a baked potato, which takes many minutes, will often get sluggish in downloading a YouTube video. My router/AP is about 35 feet away so it's signal is not all that strong in the kitchen.
The Bell Laboratory Transistor Water Tower.
This three legged historical landmark was made to celebrate the invention of the transistor. It is located in Holmdel, NJ near the "Bell Works" complex.
The transistor was invented at the Bell Labs location in Murray Hill, New Jersey. The actual transistor used in the discovery experiment is on display in the small museum at the Murray Hill location.
The transistor was invented in 1947 by William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain. Bell Labs (AT&T) realized how important the transistor was as it was more dependable than the vacuum tube and was cheaper.
AT&T replaced its vacuum tube with new devices, allowing clearer conversations with less static. This transistor became a huge piece of the integrated circuit and of the computers and mobile devices we use today.
Bell Works is now a huge complex and residential area and open to the public.
Also on the property is an abstract sculpture mimicking the configuration of the first radio astronomy array, used on this very spot in the 1930s by Karl "Father of Radio Astronomy” Jansky.

I was fortunate to have seen the Crossfire Concept car in the Chrysler museum back in 2010 while attending the "Woodward Dream Cruise"
It is in a storage facility somewhere in near Auburn Hills, Michigan
That is where it has been kept for years and it's not a public location where it can be seen unfortunately
