I meant, Bluetooth.
That wireless magic that make sending embarassing photos between phones at school just that much easier.
Last week, I was told that Bluetooth got its name from a Norwegian warlord, of sorts. and it made me want to check this out.
So here it is.
Bluetooth was named after the Anglican translation of King Harald I of Denmark's byname "Blåtand/Blåtann" He united dissonant Danish tribes together into one kingdom, much like Bluetooth brings fixed or mobile devices together.
The logo was made up of King Harald's initials written in Bind Runes (Mixing Runes to make nouns, sort of) "" that guy and " " that peep there.
I can see it.
