January 25, 2018

Howdy y'all! It's Thursday Thirteen time again! Hope January has been good to you. Been colder than a frozen horned owl here in SW Virginia.

Thursday Thirteen is the easy meme where all you do is write 13 things on Thursday. You can check out a list of topics at the top if you aren't thinking well today. :-)

Sign up with Mr. Linky after Today's Fact and we'll come around and visit you.

Today's Fact

On January 25, 1947, Thomas Goldsmith, Jr. filed a patent for a Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device, an interactive missile simulator game to be played on a screen. Prototypes were made and the patent awarded the following year, but no commercial models were ever released. This is the first known video game.

  1. Can’t do a 13 this week, but I wanted to say that someone probably bought the patent and then sat on it. It’s done all the time. 😼✌🏻

  2. Getting the Valentine decorations out for the holiday made me think romance shouldn't be just one day a year. Check out my list about Love Notes.
