25 April 23

On 25 April 1961, Robert Noyce received the patent for the first integrated circuit, also known as a microchip. "Noyce holds 16 patents and went on to found Intel, the company that invented the microprocessor. Due to the success of his companies and inventions, he was nicknamed 'the Mayor of Silicon Valley.'" My tie shows a colorized view of a computer motherboard, holding hundreds/thousands of microchips -- and my tie clip is made from part of a real motherboard!
