October 21st is no ordinary day - it’s one that rewrote the rules and where the future took shape in a flash of brilliance. Whether it’s that bolt of inspiration or the result of grit and grind, October 21st is a showcase of how sparks of genius can change everything!
- In the late 1800’s, a single flick of a switch banished darkness once and for all
- In the early 1940’s a humble late lunch sparked a revolution in restaurants and ballparks worldwide
- In the late 1950’s a wealthy art collector broke all the rules to force abstract art into to the public’s eye
If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, listening to some fun, engaging tales of the past will make it even better! You’ll find yourself a little smarter and have some great stories you can tell when you bump into folks at the soccer fields! If you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).
Don't miss these links (they worked in late-2024 - not sure how long the links will be available):
- Link to the Bulb Cam - live footage of the longest glowing light bulb in history
- Link to the tastiest nachos in every state
Gift ideas for folks who celebrate October 21st:
- The look of a vintage light bulb would be neat - right? If not, a coffee table book featuring Edison’s sparks of genius would be fun - or some wall art?.
- For those foodies - you could give them nachos, nacho cheese or a coffee table book featuring Nacho’s Especialies.
- Wall art depicting the Guggenheim would be very unique - or some great coffee table books featuring Frank Lloyd Wright’s creation.
- Kim Kardashian's perfume; Alfred Nobel is featured in books; and merch featuring Glen Powell and Judge Judy - and Gorilla Glue Girl’s spray!
- Celebrate today’s holidays: Back to the Future
