Wish he was still around

I grew up on Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Loved it as much as I loved watching Arthur. There are some days I wish PBS was still airing the Neighborhood and some days I wish he were still alive... but... that torch is with us now. He truly believed in his religion... and it shows.

We are the next generation to be that beacon of kindness to those younger than us.

It's through Overdrive, a service that lends books to library patrons. Overdrive's current interface for mobile devices and browsers is known as Libby. At one point in time, both Kobo and Overdrive was owned by the same company.

Note, libraries only offer a small selection - the selection mine offers is a lot different from the library up the street from me. It's all curated from organization to organization.

Edit: Overdrive also operates Kanopy, a library video streaming app; as well as Sora, an K-12 reading app.

Game Music is as viable as top charting music. After all, a lot of Sega's early aural identity was informed by the popular music in Japan. A lot of game music is cinematic enough that MPR's "YourClassical" curates it into its own internet radio channel with notable movie scores, called "Pixel and Plot". Hell, a good chunk of the amateur remixing community cuts its teeth on OCReMixes.
