The passing of a Wizard

On Tuesday, Don Herbert, more popularly known as "Mr. Wizard", passed away at the age of 89.

As I child, I used to watch his shows about science and I believe that due to that, I understand the scientific process fully.

I am still not quite sure how I feel about Mr. Wizards' passing... I want to think I'd be at least as effected as I was when Dr. Segan died...

Anyway, I do want to remember him, and I hope that folks that read my blog will also take a moment to remember one of the few folks that spent a great deal of time showing that Science isn't the perview of folks with expensive equipment and pocket-protectors... but it is also the wonderful land of discovery available to every one of us.
