Non-musical history for today: 1898 – Caleb Bradham's beverage "Brad's Drink" was renamed "Pepsi-Cola." In the soft drink world, I'd say that Pepsi isn't really in my favorites list. I don't mind the cherry-flavored Zero Sugar version. And, where I'm from they are the distributors of Dr. Pepper, which is my favorite, along with the cherry and cream soda versions. Zero Sugar is my go-to on those.Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for August 28. Recorded in the Omniverus

Non-musical history for today: 1955 – The first edition of the Guinness Book of Records was published in Great Britain. Yes, it is from the old stout brewery.

I guess I was wrong!Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for August 27. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios at Liberty Plaza.

Non-musical history for today: 1791 – John Fitch was granted a patent for the steamboat. Now, many people want to attribute it to Robert Fulton. Robert Fulton, along with his pal Robert Livingston, created the first steamboat service. Fitch, it seems, is the rightful inventor of the actual conveyance. Hence, the patent.

Non-musical history for today: 1835 – The first Great Moon Hoax article was published in The New York Sun, announcing the discovery of life and civilization on the Moon. The author of the narrative was apparently Dr. Andrew Grant, the travelling companion and scribe of Sir John Herschel. It described animals on the Moon, including bison, single-horned goats, mini zebras, unicorns, bipedal tail-less beavers, and bat-like winged humanoids ("Vespertilio-homo") who built temples.

Non-musical history for today: 1995 – Microsoft released (unleashed?) Windows 95 to the public in North America. Up to this point, Windows 3.1 was the go-to operating system for Applications (or "programs" as they were called). And I must admit some nostalgia for that old thing. And, Windows 95 was a major breakthrough at the time. Followed by 98 in 1998, 2000 in 1999, ME in 2000, XP in 2001, Vista in 2007, Windows 7 in 2009, 8 in 2012, Windows 10 in 2015, Windows 11 in 2021. Support for all

Non-musical history for today: 1945 – The novella Animal Farm by George Orwell was first published. It follows the anthropomorphic farm animals of the fictional Manor Farm as they rebel against their human farmer, aiming to create a society where all animals can be equal, free, and happy, free from human intervention.
