  1. James Madison, our fourth President, and, before that, Secretary of State under Thomas Jefferson, was born March 16, 1751, in Port Conway, Virginia. He was one of the three authors of the Federalist papers, along with Alexander Hamilton (our first Secretary of the Treasury) and John Jay (the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court).

    Now for a joke:

    Back in the days when I was posting here as Silicon Valley Jim, for the good and sufficient reason that I was living in Silicon Valley, I would sometimes go on bicycle rides in the morning with one of my neighbors who was also a software developer. One morning, when he came out of his home to ride with me he observed that I had a new bicycle, which surprised him, because he knew that I’m so tight that I squeak when it comes to spending money on myself. He asked when I got it, so I told him:

    “I was all set to ride over to your place when this beautiful woman rode up, put her bicycle down on the sidewalk, took all her clothes off, and told me, ‘Take anything that you want’, so I took my bicycle back inside and took this one.”

    He responded, “You probably made the right decision. Her clothes might not have fit you.”

  2. “Rock Me Amadeus” was a cheesy 80s pop tune meant to cash in on the popularity of movie “Amadeus” that was released 10 months prior. The song sucked then, still does and always will.
