On That Date...dMarie Time Capsule

Hi All,

Suppose you wanted to find out what happened on a particular date in history?  What website would you go to?  Which would you pick?

Well, have I got an answer for you!

The dMarie Time Capsule is a perfect place to visit - click here for the site.

So...what does the site have and include?  Users can enter the date - for example 07/20/1985 - and then have the choice of clicking on 'Quick Page' or 'Advanced Page'.

Clicking on the Quick Page link connects you to a page that gives you the day of the week, top news headlines this week, top songs for 1985, prices for various products in 1985, who the U.S. President and U.S. Vice-President was. In addition there are categories for Academy Award Winners, people who were born on the date in question, what was on television in 1985, a list of hot new toys from the date in question, the top books of that year.

Interesting website - fun, and easy to use.  And you can amaze family and friends by saying something like, 'Back on your birthday in 19xx, the top book was xxxx and that these were popular television shows?'  Yep - its a great way to show a person that you care to surprise them with facts like that - hint, hint...try this on someone's birthday!

Enjoy the site and the memories.

The Happy Birthday Post

Hi All,

Here's something that we all have: a birthday.  Whether or not you celebrate it or just want to bury the date under a rug and forget about it, the day is there. Its the day you were born.

Click on this link for 'Famous Birthdays on This Day in History' from Historyorb.com.  Things to note about this very, very long list:

1. The list is international and, as a result, you might not be familiar with some (most) of the names.  From the list on March 28th, I recognized the following: Lady Gaga, Edwar Ramirez, Julia Stiles, Vince Vaughn, Ken Howard, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Maxim Gorky.

2. The list goes all the way back in history to 37AD...

3.  Users can visit Historyorb.com and use the search box on the main page (at the right side of the page) to search by Day, Month, Year, Type, and Keywords.  Users will be find results for historical events that occurred on the date chosen.

4.  Also on Historyorb.com are links to Today in History, Historical Events, Famous Birthdays, Deaths, Famous People, Dates, Weddings/Divorces on This Day and Deaths.


Kind of cool, eh?
