I’m sad to report that today marked the last day that PBS would air episodes of Reading Rainbow, a television program for children that I watched fondly as a kid. For those who have never seen it, Reading Rainbow was a wonderful show that helped foster an interest in reading with young people. The show was hosted by LeVar Burton and is the 3rd longest running show to ever air on PBS (after Sesame Street and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, two equally fantastic shows).
Reading Rainbow introduction theme (the old one)

Wow, I haven’t seen this intro in like 10 years (if not more). I used to watch Reading Rainbow every day after school (or in school during “after-school care”). Since that time, it looks like Reading Rainbow has gotten a new logo, but I’m sorta glad it’s still hosted by Levar Burton after all these years. That man is awesome.
So take a look! It’s in a book! A reading rainbow…!

Twitter seems to be attracting a lot of celebrities lately, and it’s nice to know that the man who hosted Reading Rainbow and starred in Star Trek: The Next Generation is now maintaining his own Twitter. This is pretty neat.
