I think it's safe to say that useless inventions are part of the Jaime Reyes lifestyle. First it was the vacuum (which I hope Cafe Demois is enjoying!) and then it was the toaster that also boiled eggs (... the library can use it somehow. I'm sure of it)... and now?
I'm afraid to say number three is a solar powered flashlight.
It was weird, but... I somehow remembered someone important while I was working on said flashlight. I've never met Ted Kord in person, but just looking back and reading his accounts inspired me a lot. He was an inventor - of things people actually used - and someone who was really fun to hang around. I kind of wish I'd gotten to meet him, just once, before he passed away. Doesn't seem like it'll happen anytime soon, though.
[Filtered to Close Friends, somewhat hackable]
Ted Kord also had my superhero name before me... actually, the whole "superpowered scarab" thing? Was a legacy. I'm not sure if anyone came before Ted Kord - or after me - but the legacy of the Blue Beetle's been around for forever. The only reason I became the third Blue Beetle, really, was because I found Ted's scarab.
Huh. Guess I don't need to go around as Super Roboman anymore. Blue Beetle... I think I like the sound of that.

[ooc; 2% memory regain! Jaime remembers his last name (whoops, forgot that part), as well as everything he knows about Ted Kord - including the legacy of the Blue Beetle. ... Yes, it is saying something when he knows a lot and it's still only a 2% memory regain. Comic continuity lasts forever. ._.]
