All of us are technology lovers, that’s a given. Few of us actually come up with anything revolutionary. Sometimes it takes guys like Edison. Yes, Thomas Edison. A certain level of kickasedness is required to say “Hey, I’m going to make Candles 2.0”

Apparently a California Assemblyman proposed a ban on incandescent lightbulbs last month and a New Jersey assemblyman, this past Thursday, proposed a switch to all fluorescent bulbs in government buildings in the coming 3 years. Are the coming years the end of Edison’s groin-grabbingly awesome invention? Maybe. If that’s the way it’s going to go then I want to give my early farewell to the revolutionary little bulb. A moment of silence darkness in memory of the
incandescent lightbulb please … … Thank you.
