The Generator Blog
This blog is not about those machines used to change mechanical energy into electrical energy. It's about software that creates software. Software to play around and have fun with.

(Wow, those words capture the essence of my blog in spirit and letter. I always miss the timely, unoriginal copycat memes. But then I'm on colored people's time, yahknowimsayin? (b/w jenett.radio))

Elijah McCoy: Inventor and Engineer
His first invention was a lubricator for steam engines. The invention allowed machines to remain in motion while being oiled; his new device revolutionized the industrial machine industry. McCoy established his own firm and was responsible for a total of 57 patents. The term "the real McCoy" refers to the oiling device used for industrial machinery. His contribution to the lubricating device became so popular that people inspecting new equipment would ask is the device contained the real McCoy. This helped popularize the American expression, meaning the real thing.
