I'll bet Wolram would let me experiment on him. Afterall, it's in the name of Medieval Science.

These are both links that my AP US History teacher gave me. The second one is a little corny, but if you're in APUSH then I would reccomend taking the prep. quizzes on there, they are a real lifesaver when you're cramming for a test =P.

An interesting history of a company with which I've been involved over the past 2 decades or so. (I haven't seen the video - so no endorsement expressed or implied).

Westinghouse is a feature-length documentary about the life and times of George Westinghouse, his companies, legacy, personality, partnership with Nikola Tesla and conflict with Thomas Edison.

George Westinghouse is considered America’s greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Thomas Edison, and win.
. . . .

If anyone has seen it, I'd appreciate comments/thoughts.
