Nikola Tesla was born on this day 158 years ago.
Not familiar with the name? He was an electrical genius who invented Radio, Fluorescent Lights, the system of power generation and distribution that we use today, Radar, X-Rays, Radio Astronomy, the Schumann Resonance. Minor stuff...
The Oatmeal has a nice overview of his life.
More at the Tesla Museum located in one of his original labs.
