Born in 1603 – Joseph of Cupertino, Italian mystic and saint. Patron of Air Travelers, Astronauts, and Pilots.

“When he was seven, Joseph began having mystical visions…For the last 35 years of his priesthood, he was unable to celebrate Mass in public because he would often be lifted into the air when he went into an ecstatic state. This happened in many Masses, and became distracting for those in attendance.” (Angelus)

Also, born in 1907, American designer, architect, and filmmaker Charles Eames.

…one of the few effective keys to the Design problem: the ability of the Designer to recognize as many of the constraints as possible; his willingness and enthusiasm for working within these constraints. Constraints of price, of size, of strength, of balance, of surface, of time, and so forth. Each problem has its own peculiar list.
