CornOnTheGob<p>Death day of the inventor of morse code- who was also a painter!</p><p>Samuel Finley Breese Morse (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American inventor and painter. After establishing his reputation as a portrait painter, Morse, in his middle age, contributed to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system based on European telegraphs. He was a co-developer of Morse code in 1837 and helped to develop the commercial use of telegraphy.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Morse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_M</span><span class="invisible">orse</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painting</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>day</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/inventor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inventor</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/til" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>til</span></a></p>

Code of Amor 💘<p>I would love to share random inventions and designs on here but the paranoia of having ideas stolen and/or misused is sometimes a hindrance. In most cases I wouldn't care and would gladly give my designs to worthy causes or interested individuals.
