This was once a blog where I shared many, many things, most of which were awesome. Somewhere around fall 2009, I got a big-kid media job and no longer can keep up with this old thing. There's some good stuff hanging around here though. You should check it out.

Mr. Rogers saves PBS

In 1969, when the funding for PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was running out of support in the government, Mr. Fred Rogers himself spoke at a Senate hearing, saving his show and education television for good.
