the robert noyce google doodle
robert noyce, a co-inventor of the integrated circuit, was honored with a google doodle last week on what would have been his 87th birthday.
intel founder robert noyce
this article reports that when noyce was a boy in burlington, iowa he
hooked a box kite to the back bumper of a neighbor’s car and, with the neighbor driving, managed to glide, getting the contraption up to 12 feet in the air.
would u like to glide through the air in a box kite tied to a car bumper?
glide means to move without effort or resistance.
the christmas carol jingle bell rock has a good example in the chorus:
jingle bell time is a swell time to go gliding in a one horse sleigh
the horse pulls and the sleigh glides over the snow
in this vid from 2 1/2 men, alan steals the show from his mom and around :45 sings the line
the song come fly with me contains the line
once i get you up there where the air is rarified, we’ll just glide, starry-eyed
in this vid, luis miguel sings the song for frank sinatra‘s 80th birthday. he sings with a video recording of sinatra who made the song famous.
a biographical video about michael jordan also titled come fly with me was released in 1989 but this youtube vid features clyde “the glide” drexler gliding over jordan for a dunk in the 1992 nba finals
what is this activity called? 
post the answer if u know
I know the answer, the activity is called “gliding” but i don’t know what “starry-eyed” means
yes paco! gliding or hang-gliding is the activity in the picture.
starry-eyed means that you are not thinking realistically. in “come fly with me” it’s because of romance.
