A Song For Hedy Lamarr -- Not Hedley Lamarr -- Enters Billboard Chart At 44 -- June 26, 2022

Recently released, just posted: link here

This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr, Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck

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.
