To another two centuries just like the last!

Happy 251st wedding anniversary, George and Martha!

Those crazy kids, so in love.


So what is 251 years? Silver? Gold? Adamantium?

Tweet the past

So I just joined Twitter, right? I figured, why not... all the cool kids are doing it, and I'm nothing if not a follower. But probably the best part of it? The National Museum of American History (Smithsonian represent!) has a twitter account that they use to disseminate fun facts about history. Just this morning I learned that today is Utah's birthday and that it is called "The Beehive State."

Oh, and today in 1847 Samuel Colt sold his first revolver to the U.S. government.

Oh, Twitter. Nerding it up, left and right.

P.S. Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport... I still sort of hate you, but I hate you much less now that you're providing me (accidentally) with free internet. Keep up the good work.
