Beautiful Women

All the names in this thread, I had to Google as I haven't previously heard of them, except for Charlize Theron.


Would Cleopatra have stirred up some of those youthful oats?

The Darling Bride.

Seriously... we were married in 1990 and I truly believe she's more gorgeous now than she was then.

I married up - way up!

EDIT:

We took the occasion to get a new portrait done last week and I'll continue to insist that I married way up!

Happy Birthday Hedy Lamarr!

This bombshell of the silent & classic film era was more than a pretty face: she was a brilliant mathematician. During World War II she worked with the US government to develop a way for our forces to communicate without fear of enemy interception.

What Hedy helped develop was "frequency hopping" - where the transmitters & receivers would send a burst of encrypted data before switching to another frequency.... again and again. The enemy would never know what the next frequency would be.

This incredible technology became the basis for time & frequency division multipllexing systems; and the Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology that Verizon uses for its cellular network.

Thank you, Hedy! Today would have been her 107th birthday.

I absolutely adore my beautiful Darling Bride - and while she is a wonderful culinary and fly fishing goddess, I'm not sure she could be any more technologically declined. I really have tried to help her: but after all the years of effort, to find her trying to read a small, dark document on her phone with a lighting magnifying glass (instead of just brightening the screen and zooming in), I'm not sure I've made any progress.

Bless her heart...
