May The Fourth Be With You, May The Force Be With You

May 4, 2024 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

It’s May 4, 2024, and today is dedicated to all things related to Star Wars. This is a high holy day for nerds everywhere who adore the adventures of Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2D2, and C3PO. May The Fourth is a rift on “May The Force Be With You,” commonly said among the Jedi and those fighting The Empire led by Darth Vader.

In my opinion, this is a story of friendship, faith, and fighting the good fight. It’s also about learning to live and work with people from worlds much different than one lives in. Everywhere across the galaxy, people are fighting the good fight against the evils of greed and injustice. Friends May The Fourth and May The Force be with you all.

A Slice Of Goth Lasagne

I never thought that cake was another form of lasagne. Chocolate cake is very in the spirit of goth culture, making this goth lasagne or something like that.

Burgess Battery Company, I Had No Idea This Was A Thing

April 30, 2024 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

The Burgess Battery Company (Burgess) was founded by Dr. Charles F. Burgess in Madison, Wisconsin, and incorporated on March 1, 1917. The United States entered World War I a month later on April 6. During the war, Burgess collaborated with the US Army Signal Corps to develop quality batteries for radio communication equipment.

I had no idea this company existed until I saw an ad for it on a fellow member of the larger Burgess family’s Facebook page. It’s cool that this existed. I know my dad would have found this to be really cool. I know I do. The company no longer exists but their legacy lives on.
