Happy Birthday James Bond

I hope your birthday goes off with a ‘Bang.’

Lady Magnolia

Piero Umiliani

1969

I really like Piero’s songs. Not only did he do so many soundtracks to spaghetti western films, but did grooves like ‘Mah Nà Mah Nà.’ When synthesizers started out, he incorporated them into his music; not outlandish or all synthesizer based, but tastefully complementing the other instruments.

Extra credit on line integral exam today was to tell a joke, I used one of my favorites:

“What’s the difference between chopped beef and pea soup?”

“You can chop beef, but you can’t pee soup!”

Virgil Exner actually explains in his 1957 report “Styling and Aerodynamics” the aerodynamic benefit of Fins on an automobile.

I’m so excited, I’ve always been told that fins were a useless part of styling, but a report (along with wind tunnel testing) shows otherwise! With all of the focus on the aerodynamics of cars today, why aren’t car manufacturers implementing fins? (Making a sad, bland car look less dull by putting a tasteful amount of fins would be great!)
