- Earl Bakken
Earl Bakken developed the first wearable artificial pacemaker in 1957 as a result of a fatal problem at the University of Minnesota hospital. Dr. C. Walton Lillihei was performing life-saving surgery on children with blue baby syndrome. That surgery often left the children needing to be temporarily attached to a pacemaker. The pacemakers at the time were large devices that required their own carts and relied on wall current for power.

Being a father is pretty wondrous, but it's truly the most surreal thing I've experienced. Or am experiencing. Also, approaching 30 is also kind of weird, because I feel much like I did as a 17 year old, only now with more albums and better taste. It seems that feelings about things don't really go away, they just mutate and expand and become more well-defined at the same time, and we can see the interrelatedness between things. But enough of my yapping.
