New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Yellow
Incense of the day: Clove This is a day for inventions. On this day in 1783, the French physicians Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier and Francois Laurent, the marquis d'Arlandes, made the first untethered hot-air balloon flight, flying five and a half miles over Paris in about twenty-five minutes. Also, in 1877 on this day, Edison invented the phonograph, the first device to record sound. In 1969, the first link for the arpanet was connected; the arpanet later evolved into the Inter-net. This is an auspicious day for trying out new things, new technology, and new ideas. So make an effort to shake yourself out of your ruts. |
