“Los hombres geniales empiezan grandes obras, los hombres trabajadores las terminan”

Leonardo da Vinci

Fue un artista, botánico, escritor, escultor, filósofo, ingeniero, inventor, músico, anatomista y urbanista florentino del Renacimiento italiano, nacido en abril de 1542,.

Frecuentemente descrito como un arquetipo y símbolo del renacimiento, es considerado como uno de los mas grandes pintores de todos los tiempos, y probablemente la persona con el mayor numero de talentos que haya existido en la tierra.

Fue descendiente de una rica familia de nobles italianos, fue hijo ilegitimo, su padre, un canciller florentino, dejó embarazada a su madre, una joven de 15 años de familia campesina, de quien se ha sospechado era una esclava del Oriente Medio. 

Pasó los primeros cinco años de su vida en casa de su padre en Vinci, en donde fue tratado como un hijo ilegítimo. Su madre se casó cuando Leonardo tenia cinco años y su padre se casó con una joven proveniente de una familia rica de Florencia, la cual al no tener hijos, volcó su afecto en Leonardo, no obstante murió muy joven y su padre se caso 4 veces mas procreando 10 hijos y 2 hijas mas.

El joven Leonardo, era un amante de la naturaleza dibujaba caricaturas y practicaba la escritura especular. Un dia, un amigo le mostró al pintor y escultor italiano Andrea de Verrocchio, unos dibujos y sorprendido por sus extraordinarios dones, lo invitó a trabajar en su taller. Es a Verrocchio a quien se le adjudica, parte de su excelente formación multidisciplinaria, aunque no se le conoce ninguna obra de esa época.

Leonardo también destacó como ingeniero, en 1478 a la edad de 26 años, se ofreció para elevar el baptisterio de San Juan, un edificio religioso en Florencia.

En 1483, Leonardo pinta la obra “La virgen de las rocas”, para la confraternidad de la inmaculada concepción, de cuya obra, surgió un prolongado conflicto legal y de la cual hubo dos versiones de la misma.

Hacia 1490, creó una academia y en 1494 pintó el fresco “La ultima cena”. Para un convento dominico y en uno de sus diarios, realizó uno de sus dibujos mas célebres denominado “El hombre del Vitruvio”.

En 1499 trabajó como arquitecto e ingeniero militar para los venecianos, elaborando sistemas de defensa naval contra los posibles ataques turcos, en donde entre sus inventos destaca una especie de escafandra submarina con una especie de casco rudimentario, así como un sistema de esclusas para proteger la ciudad.

En 1501, obtuvo la aprobación para la elaboración de la obra, “La virgen y el niño con Santa Ana y San Juan Bautista”, obra que causó gran admiración.

En 1505, se dedicó a estudiar el vuelo de los pájaros redactando un códice y dibujos sobre el tema. 

Entre 1505 y 1506 trabaja en un pequeño retrato, “La Gioconda”, probablemente el cuadro mas famoso de la pintura occidental, La obra representa a Lisa Gherardini, esposa de Francesco de Giocondo, un cuadro muy querido que Leonardo conservó hasta su muerte. 

En abril de 1519, Leonardo enfermó, redactó su testamento, pidió recibir la extremaunción, y murió un mes después en mayo de 1519 a la edad de 67 años.

I love every fic That has Danny still being Phantom even while in the DC universe but sometimes I just want my little guy to flex his intellect and be all around little mad scientist that only sometimes uses his powers to pick up a screwdriver

Danny is smart.

He knows he is brilliant.

He may have been outshined by his family when he was younger, but that was because his focus was on something else, and frankly, being born last into a family of geniuses made one feel like one wasn't as intelligent as them.

He constantly compared himself to them, knowing that they had already achieved what he was doing and falling further and further behind in his self-wellow.

Then Danny left Amity Park and went into the real world.....he found his intelligence got him far. Danny was exceptionally brilliant when he was working on machinery, chemistry, and, above all else, engineering.

Maybe it had something to do with watching his parents repurpose any household item into a completely new technology that affected beings from different dimensions simply because they used math.

Or maybe it was that his brain was always moving, always connecting, and constantly processing. Danny didn't realize that people couldn't just make whatever idea came into their heads a reality.

Hell, his dad heard about Mr. Freeze's ray and he made a copy in two months. Danny made Mr. Freeze's ray in two weeks. He made other ghost tech in that same amount or enough to arm his schoolmates in one afternoon.

The point is that Danny is good at what he does. Put a screwdriver in huis hand, and he be off until whatever hair brain idea he had a physical form.

Everyone in Amity Park knew this as a fact about the Fentons/ Since they moved in, there was nothing but experiments one right after the other. Sure, they wasted it on things like Ecto-studies, but his parents made their money from somewhere before the world learned about ghosts.

Danny's parents had many, and he means many, patents. Everything from a brand of microwaves to vehicle parts.

His parents created them, sold them to partial rights to companies, and then wasted whatever money they got on some new experiment for a ghost that had not yielded any fortunes.

He thought he could do the same. Just apply to anywhere that would take him after creating a portable phone changer on one's wrist. He figured it would have gotten less attention than he did hadn't he just shown up at Wayne Expo as an unknown inventor through his parents contacts.

Danny had felt relatively small with his foldable plastic table and his four cardboard boxes of his invention while everyone had booths and screens, and a few even had prominent speakers with people in suits that cost more than his house

. Danny felt like a little kid trying to sell lemonade in the five-star hotel lobby. Everyone walked right by him without a glance, or they jeered and mocked him.

That was until Bruce Wayne wandered over. Kind and charming the man, maybe he wasn't the brightest- but he stood there listening to Danny excitedly explain how moving the hand on the bracelet caused it to charge, so walking around with it was all the kinetic energy it needed.

His ward- Dick Grayson, in all his tiny ten-year-old authority, had purchased a bracelet from Danny. It had been the only sale he made that night, but it was the only one he needed. Bruce had called him to offer him a position at WE.

Like his parents, Danny enjoyed his freedom, so instead, he offered to be a freelance inventor. He would show the Wayne's first dibs but go where the wind took him. He made them if he found buyers who weren't trying to ice him out of profits.

Unlike his parents, he didn't waste the funds past his travels. Slowly but surely building up a fortune over time.

Danny still went out as Phantom, but over the years he invented random gadgets and chemicals that he would ship to Bruce for a healthy paycheck. Ussually he makes something that the rich man off-handedly comments on.

"Oh Danny, I just loved skydiving, but I'm scared Dick's parachute will get stuck."

Danny invented one with small rocket blasters Bruce could manually control into landing for his son.

"I always enjoy undersea diving. The tanks are a killer on my back. Jason was almost weighted down by them too."

Danny created a breathing mask that had the tanks in smaller easier-to-carry cylinders.

"Tim really loves his computers. Wish I could take the whole thing with me when I go out!"

Danny had a working computer on a heliographic wristwatch the next month.

It was awesome. Danny traveled a lot but always found time to call and speak with Bruce. He got to know the man well over the years, found himself chatting with him for hours, and even spent his visits to Gotham at Wayne Manor as a guest.

Bruce's kids were a riot to be around. He would often go away for a while only to return and find that they had grown in numbers. He loved them like his own and found himself a confidant among the children.

It was he that Dick called to whispers about his insecurity within Bruce's home. He would go to all the gymnastics and mathletes shows he could catch, cheering the loudest among the rich parents as Dick outshone the rest of the children.

Danny had practically flown home to rip Bruce a new one until the man admitted to his gapping son that he had applied to be his father mere months after taking him in.

It was Danny that Jason spoke to when Dick and Bruce's fights were too loud. He would take the boy on trips, and talk for hours about books to calm down, then he had sat Bruce and Dick down to rip another new one.

It was no surprise that Jason had called him when he had tried to run away to confront his birth mother. He had been there to see the bitch arrested before she could hurt Jason.

It was Danny that Tim often sought out to showcase his photos. He always made sure to call the boy right before he was meant to sleep, regardless of which part of the world Danny was on, to wish him goodnight and talk about their days.

Tim always brightened whenever Danny caught his skateboard competitions or club performances. He was the one who found out Tim's biological parents neglected him after the boy told him, and he was the one to help Bruce win custody.

Then came Damian, who was as scared as he was angry. Danny adored him and saw so many ghost-like mannerisms in him that connecting to the boy wasn't hard at all.

Bruce didn't seem to understand that his son was used to outlined expectations and grew irritable when he felt he failed them. He was the one that help Damian get used to his environment and was the one the boy was much more willing to try new things with.

Steph and Danny often got along well with their sense of humor, but mostly she followed him around, seeking approval that likely missed out from her parents. They would sit down and talk about her future and what she wanted in life, and he even let her practice her makeup on him and giggle about boys.

Sometimes, it felt like she didn't have to be the tough girl from the rough part of town. She could be a teenage girl without a care in the world. At least, that's what she claimed Danny made her feel like.

Cass didn't talk much, but she didn't have to for Danny to not see how much she enjoyed their days out, too.

He loved taking her to see the arts, to sit and listen to music together, and most of all, to see her slowly bloom into a sociable young lady so different from the closed-off girl that first arrived at Wayne Manor.

Duke was still relatively new, but Danny could spot the wild, unhinged look in his eye that would have made him a proper Fenton. The two often spent their time playing video games and working in the community together.

Duke seemed to enjoy when Danny invited him to tag along on short trips, especially when the two would go camping. As someone who grew up in the city, he had never been fishing until Danny taught him how to reel in a big one at a lake a state over. The whole Wayne family had cheered the dark skin boy on as he held the trout over his head for the photo.

Alfred treated him like one of the family sometimes meeting up with Danny on his travels for a cup of tea or a nice phone call to gossip about Bruce.

Danny loved it but adored when the Waynes would help with his inventions. Even if all they did was sit in his makeshift lab inside his RV or the west wing of Wayne Manor like Bruce did, having them made his hands fly faster and his calculations sharper.

Sometimes, he caught the strangest, softest look on Bruce's face when Danny would be wielding.

Danny was so used to this lifestyle that he would forget about his ghost powers. It's not like he really needed them.

That came to head when he returned to Gotham on a whim, wanting to surprise Bruce for his birthday by taking the other man out to dinner somewhere fancy he happened to stumble across the scene of Scarecrow holding the Waynes- his Waynes- as hostages at an award ceremony in the new mental hospital they had funded.

Danny hadn't thought.

He saw the Fear Gas vents open and pulled one of his gadgets. He threw it as hard as he could at Scarecrow, watching with satisfaction as it bounced off the manic's head- knocking him out and spinning in place as it activated.

It was a miniature vacuum- meant to gather pollution in the air to hopefully clean up their planet- sucking in all the green smoke before it could harm.

He three out of the other five at the goons that had tried to gas the spectators before, pressing his anti-gravity plates- reversing them to slam the goons into a heap and officially knocking them out.

Danny took down the Rouge in under a minute.

"Bruce! Kids! Are you alright?" He cried rushing the stage to the stunned family. He helped them out of their bonds, gentelly tracing the bruise on Bruce's face with a soft whine. "They hurt you."

"I'm alright, darling," Bruce muttered, leaning into his palm. "I'm better with you here. What was that?"

"Oh just a-"

"Look out!" Dick suddenly screams as a flash of ice comes from nowhere. Danny tucks Bruce onto his chest and rolls away from the ray's pathway. They land with his friend on his back and Danny leaning over him in a protective hunch.

Quickly, he stops his foot against the ice, pressing the heel back and watching bursts of electricity from his built-in tazer race up the ice to the beam of Dr. Freeze.

The man doesn't have time to react before spamming and hitting the ground. Danny scoffs. "Using a ray with a cryogenic laser beam so last season. Invent something new, you one act poney."

Bruce stares up at him with those soft eyes again, and Danny smiles now that he is sure the Danger is gone.

"Is there nothing that mind of yours can't do?" Bruce asks and Danny laughs helping him to his feet as police swarm the place.

"Find me a date, maybe." Danny jokes, "I haven't had one since you took in Dick.""

"Neither has Father!" Damian shouts from behind them. Danny bemussingly watches the young boy march up to gesture at the mortified-looking man.

Despite his father's obvious embarrassment, Damian does not seem bothered to shout for everyone to hear. "He may swing both ways but hasn't acquired a suitable spouse. What says you, Danny? You could assist in correcting this error."

"Sure, I'll take him out." Danny laughs, patting the boy on his shoulder, knowing he hates to have his hair touched. Damian all but melts into his hand like his father seemingly smug. "I know a great club to meet some great people in Metropolis!"

Damian's smug look fades away as Bruce's eyes fall. "I meant for you to be Father's sp-"

"Danny, would you mind explaining those tazer shoes?" Bruce cuts in, throwing a arm over the inventor's shoulder. "They were dazzling!"

"Oh, Bruce, I'm always happy to explain my creations!"

Damian pouts as the two walk away, acting like a married couple to the scattered spectators. If only his Father would just man up and tell Danny that he's practically been his second Father all these years, they need to officiate it.

Tim sighs, placing a hand like Danny did on his shoulder. "It's okay, Dami. This time, we will surely succeed in the Parent Trap plan. Maybe before Danny gets lost in the lab trying to invent a way to warp travel."

"Don't even joke, Tim," Jason says. "Danny would figure that out. He created the Zeta Beams to make it to my senior play. He'll figure out warping if we ask him to."

"Dad's the best," Steph laughs, and they all agree, determined more than ever to make Parent Trap happen.

“El ingrediente más importante es levantarte y hacer algo. Muchas personas tienen ideas, pero solo algunas deciden hacer algo hoy. El verdadero emprendedor actúa en lugar de soñar”

Nolan Bushnell

Es un ingeniero, empresario e inventor estadounidense nacido en Cleveland en febrero de 1943.

Junto a Ralph Baer, fue el fundador de Atari, uno de los pioneros de la industria de los videojuegos.

Nació en Clearfield Utah y fue educado como mormón en la Iglesia de Jesucristo De los Santos de los Últimos Días.

De adolescente trabajó en el parque de atracciones Lagoon en donde tuvo por primera vez la impresión del interés de los visitantes por los juegos, situación que desencadenaría muchas de las decisiones comerciales de su vida.

Al terminar su bachillerato en 1961, se matriculó en la Universidad del estado de Utah para cursar ingeniería y empresariales, e incorporados en la Facultad de ingeniería Eléctrica en 1964.

Buschnell fue uno de los pocos estudiantes que jugaron al Spacewar con un ordenador PDP-1, el cual ocupaba una habitación entera.

Nolan compaginaba sus estudios universitarios con trabajos para la Litton Guidance & control Systems y para el departamento de ingeniería industrial de la misma universidad.

Durante las vacaciones de verano Buschnell creó una empresa dedicada a producir y vender carpetas y espacios publicitarios para cuatro universidades, además de vender ejemplares de la Enciclopedia Americana.

Una vez graduado en 1968 inició estudios de postgrado en la Universidad de Stanford. Intentó trabajar en Walt Disney sin éxito.

En 1970, Bushnell propuso a su compañero Ted Dabney y el programador Larry Bryan crear una compañía para desarrollar una versión modificada de Spacewar que denominaron Computer Space,  sin embargo, el juego demostró estar demasiado adelantado a su tiempo por lo que se convirtió en un fracaso comercial.

Con la idea de crear un videojuego que pudiera ser jugado por cualquiera, en 1972 Dabney y Nolan formaron Atari, dando a luz un juego parecido al ping-pong creado por Ralph Bauer que denominaron sencillamente PONG, un juego similar perfeccionado por un ingeniero de Atari.

En 1974 Bushnell y Atari crearon una versión de PONG para el entorno doméstico y gracias a un acuerdo de marketing y comercialización con Sears, las ventas despegaron en 1975, sacando en 1977 el Atari 2600 Video Computer System, que revolucionó el mercado de los videojuegos domésticos creando una nueva ola en las consolas de videojuegos.

Ante las necesidades de expansión del videojuego PONG, Bushnell decidió en 1976 vender la compañía Atari a Warner Communications (ahora Time Warner) en 1974 por la suma de 28 millones de dólares pero manteniendo la dirección. 

En ese mismo año, Steve Jobs le propuso a Nolan Bushnell invertir cincuenta mil dólares en su compañía a cambio de un tercio del capital social de su recién formada compañía Apple Computer, sin embargo Bushnell rechazó la oferta. Bushnell confiesa mas tarde que solo de recordarlo aún siente ganas de llorar.

Bushnell mas tarde abandona Atari por desacuerdos entre socios en 1979, regresando a Atari en 2010 como miembro del consejo de administración.

Bushnell ha fundado más de una veintena de empresas y fue incluido en el Video Game Hall of Fame por su influencia en este mercado.

En marzo de 2019 fue nombrado Director Ejecutivo y Presidente de Global Gaming Technologies Corp, un holding de la industria de juego que invierte en tecnologías relacionadas con la realidad aumentada, realidad virtual e inteligencia artificial, además de los populares juegos de e-sports.

Bushnell ha creado muchas innovaciones culturales empresariales que se han convertido en normas, que van desde las sesiones únicas de planificación empresarial hasta la vestimenta de trabajo informal.

Se conoce como Ley Bushnell al aforismo “Fáciles de aprender, pero difíciles de dominar” en referencia a los videojuegos.

Thomas Jennings was a free man born in 1791 in New York City. He was 30 years old when he was granted a patent for a dry cleaning process. In his early 20s Thomas Jennings became a tailor, and later opened a dry cleaning business in the city. As a tailor. Jennings' skills were so admired that people near and far came to him to alter or custom tailor items of clothing for them. Eventually, Jennings reputation grew such that he was able to open his own store on Church street which grew into one of the largest clothing stores in New York City. While running his business Jennings developed dry-scouring. He had many customers complain of their clothes being ruined by stains and so he began experimenting with cleaners and mixtures that would remove the stains without harming the material. He earned a large amount of money as a tailor and even more with his dry scouring invention and most of the money he earned went to his abolitionist activities. In 1831, Thomas Jennings became assistant secretary for the First Annual Convention of the People of Color in Philadelphia, PA. Thomas L. Jennings Dry Scouring technique created modern day dry cleaning. Jennings was fortunate that he was a free man at the time of his invention. Besides all the other indignities and cruelties slaves had to face, they were also ineligible to hold a patent. Under the US patent laws of 1793 a person must sign an oath or declaration stating that they were a citizen of the USA. While there were, apparently, provisions through which a slave could enjoy patent protection, the ability of a slave to seek out, receive and defend a patent was unlikely. Later, in 1858, the patent office changed the laws, stating that since slaves were not citizens, they could not hold a patent. Furthermore, the court said that the slave owner, not being the true inventor could not apply for a patent either. Thomas Jennings died in New York City in 1856.
