A visit with my younger self: 22 August 1988

A very short entry this time:

The handwritten journal entry. The text is transcribed in the articleThe story of Marconi enters my mind.

At this point in my trip to Montréal, I had relocated to the hotel where I would be staying for the conference. It was in a nicer neighborhood, but ironically, access to the McGill campus by public transit was less convenient. What sparked this particular entry was watching a CBC (I think) documentary about Marconi which somehow captured my imagination. 

What in particular this was, I’m not sure. Before excavating this entry, if someone had asked me about it, I would have said it was about Tesla, incorrectly. Looking over the Wikipedia article on Marconi reveals nothing that seems that fascinating, Maybe it really was Tesla who captured my imagination in that hotel room.
