Mourn for a Man That Brought Science to a Generation

Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, died yesterday in his home at 89. I fondly remember his show. Another great person to come out of Minnesota. I will miss you Mr. Wizard, thanks for the knowledge and entertainment. At least we still have Bill Nye to carry on the tradition of getting kids to love science.

So Long, We Will Miss You

Kurt Vonnegut died last night. Best known for Slaughterhouse Five. I enjoyed his easy conversational tone when writing, and his biting wit. His blatant honesty will be missed in this world.

Looking for an image of Kurt to use for this, I noticed that as he got older he looked like Mark Twain or Einstein.
