This song reminds me of another song -- but I can't think of it right now. It will come later, I'm sure.
Jeff Beck: age 78.
Is Johnny Depp about to do some of his best work? Age 59.
Hedy Lamarr. Age 29. Wiki.
During World War II, Lamarr learned that radio-controlled torpedoes, an emerging technology in naval war, could easily be jammed and set off course.
She thought of creating a frequency-hopping signal that could not be tracked or jammed. She contacted her friend, composer and pianist George Antheil, to help her develop a device for doing that, and he succeeded by synchronizing a miniaturized player-piano mechanism with radio signals.
They drafted designs for the frequency-hopping system, which they patented.

Best Things I Did This Past Week
Started reading Peter Zeihan's new book. $30 or thereabouts.
Subscibed to Science magazine. $79 -- annual.
Re-acquainted myself with Johnny Depp.
Re-acquainted myself with borderline personalities. If you haven't treated or been in a relationship with a borderline personality you have no idea. Trust me on this one.
