John Aielli mentioned that today is Elias Howe's birthday. Howe invented the sewing machine (ok, he perfected what other people had not been able to successfully do for the sewing machine) back in 1846. There's some interesting info on him over on Wikipedia.
Happy Birthday, Elias! So happy you were able to get that whole lockstitch thing down!
