I used to love making pencil drawings. Black and white images were my thing. Then my creativity went to music, then engineering and electronics. Watching Bob Ross was my guilty pleasure when I was younger. I miss programs like that...


"Ross rarely made a dime off any of his paintings, and never expected any of his works to ever hang in a museum. But recently the Smithsonian acquired four Bob Ross paintings to add to its permanent collection."

Jenkins said, "The message of having self-confidence, of trying new things – that doesn't get old."

In 1850, William Gladstone asked the scientist Michael Faraday why electricity was valuable. Faraday answered, “One day sir, you may tax it.”
Electricity is defined as the rate of flow of charges in a conductor. So we are actually being charged for electrical energy, not electricity because the electricity was always there since the creation of charged particles.

Electricity is all around us--powering technology like our cell phones, computers, lights, soldering irons, and air conditioners. It's tough to escape it in our modern world. Even when you try to escape electricity, it's still at work throughout nature, from the lightning in a thunderstorm to the synapses inside our body. But what exactly is electricity? This is a very complicated question, and as you dig deeper and ask more questions, there really is not a definitive answer, only abstract representations of how electricity interacts with our surroundings.
