Jovan H.
(Alias "Edison")

Jovan H., like so many other very creative, suc­cessful people, got his start in the Creative Expressions class taught by the Legendary Mr. Christopherson. Though that class was undoubtedly the high point in Jovan's life, he did go on to accomplish great things!

We are talking here of that very Jovan H. who has made a name for himself as the electronics expert who toured the country demonstrating how to hold the common 5‑1/4" floppy computer diskette. He was able to make the entire country aware of the fact that there is a right way and a wrong way to grasp one of these diskettes. Until Mr. H. came along with his "Hold‑A‑Disk" campaign, people were grabbing the things in all sorts of dangerous ways . . . So a big thanks to Jovan for his help with this problem.

Following his great success with "Hold‑A‑Disk," Mr. H. came up with an idea that has dumbfounded the engineering world with its simple elegance. His quick mind and agile hands have build an exceptionally useful switch-on device. It consists of a lever, which when pushed from one side of the device’s mounting box to the other, allows electricity to flow through a circuit. This idea has led to innumerable, fantastic, and useful applications such as: turning on lights, turning on radios, turn­ing on TV's, turning on air conditioners, etc. Mr. H. is now said to be working hard on a companion idea, sure to be every bit as successful as his switch­-on device. He is struggling to perfect a device which will stop electrical flow in all of these things his switch-on de­vice has activated.  He has chosen the tentative name "switch-off" for this new marvel.

Unfortunately, Jovan has had his failures too. One glaring example is his fusion reactor. Mr. H. claims that the machine would actually work, allowing the conversion of water and hydrogen into untold amounts of energy. The one and only flaw was that the machine required the total output of all of Earth’s energy sources to run it. Oh well, so it goes with genius. Keep doing things your way, Mr. Harris!

Special Note: Another device that Mr. Harris claims to have invented consists of mouth and ear pieces. The device is then connected to a telephone line, allowing the user to hold conversations with others so equipped. Though there is little doubt that he did indeed work up his own version of such a device in 1999, it is suspected that he may have actually gotten the idea from a similar device he may have seen somewhere in his formative younger years.
