Thought some might be interested in this: Buy a brick for the Nikola Tesla Museum - The Oatmeal They have saved Tesla's old lab in upstate New York, and are hoping to restore it with an additional museum.
I'm not normally into the Brick buying thing. Tesla Motors is getting enough sideways advirtising from the museum to justify buying the place outright...BUT!!! It's an interesting site! Almost worth $125 just for the diversion about the (yeeesh! ) hornets. OUCH!!!!
Without Tesla, we might not be making much use of alternating current. A 'DC Prius' would be a dog, to say the least.
