My friends over at The Oatmeal have raised over $1 million to save Tesla’s lab in NY to ultimately make it a museum. Suhweet!

I follow the Oatmeal and was shocked by how fast the target of $850,000 was made for the Tesla museum (and yes, Tesla IS the ultimate geek). It’s good to know that people are willing to honor those with great achievements, even if history has ignored them to a large degree. Who knows, maybe someday someone else will figure out what Tesla was doing on his wireless power transmission system and prove that he was right! That would be very cool.
