What Did I Tell You. It's Little *Flying* Robots You Should Be Scared Of

Listen, I warned you all, I really did. But no, everyone thinks that the evil Singularity monsters will look like the grinning red-eyed Terminators. No. Nothing so clumsy. They'll be little, and they'll fly. And they can already take our beer. See? It may already be too late. (H/T Boing Boing.)

Should-Be Household Name #2: John J. Montgomery

San Diego- and Bay Area-based flight pioneer John J. Montgomery received a patent for his aeroplane design and died testing one of them. He was the first person to execute a controlled, heavier than air, manned flight (he sat in it, it flew, he could steer, but had no engine.) He was partly inspired in his engineering by French-American engineering genius Octave Chanute. Montgomery Airport in San Diego is named for him.
