This is a new project I’m trying out because I’ve been making a ton of postcards for years now. I don’t just want to throw them out so I’m giving them away. Well, I’m mailing them to a new home.

Free art to a good home.

I’m going to be giving away this postcard to a commenter chosen at random. You have until February 4, 2011 to comment on http://blog.davidlamorte.com/post/3038226052/im-going-to-be-giving-away-this-postcard-to-a and tell me what you think and enter the contest.

There is no skill or prejudice, only luck and fortune.

Reading Rainbow goes off the Air from The New York Times, NPR, Neatorama, and thekeri If you don’t remember children’s television in the 1980’s, don’t worry because you didn’t miss much. I’m as nostalgic as the next nerd, but kids of my generation were stuck watching a lot of junk. It was a dark time filled with lots of colors and no cohesive plots. There were a few gems, but as soon as you were too old for Sesame Street or Mr.Rogers you were stuck watching toy commercials disguised as cartoons.

Reading Rainbow was one of the real gems on television because there were no commercials any toys to buy. Hosted by LeVar Burton, Reading Rainbow was all about reading and it’s only goal was to get the viewers excited about reading. There aren’t enough shows on TV in my opinion that direct you to your public library instead of the toy story. All things must come to an end, but this does make me a little sad. Reading Rainbow was a show that reviewed and discussed books and made generations of kids excited about reading, but you don’t have to take my word for it.
