    A Piece on Digital Puppetry

    Here's a video about producing "Sid the Science Kid". What I've always found most interesting about the idea of digital puppetry is it's ability to create the animation in real time. It could effectively be the genesis of a cartoon performed live...

    Statler and Waldorf on "The Daily Show"

    Jon Stewart just made a reference to Statler and Waldorf, comparing the Larry King interview of Senator John McCain to them. After showing footage of the interview, Stewart said McCain and King should be heckling the Muppets. Then they showed a clip of Statler and Waldorf with McCain's and...

    Wow! Am I the Only one Who Saw Kermit on ESPN?

    Kermit was on ESPN this morning. "NFL Countdown" did a bit about how badly the Jets and Eagles are doing. Since they both have green uniforms, Kermit did the story. He started out talking singing "Bein' Green" then went on to say that maybe they weren't doing well because of the green or...

    I've been working on a late night show called "The Temp". It's about a corporate office where the office machines and the humans interact (talking coffeemaker, watercooler, copy machine that's in love with one of the humans, normal stuff). The answering machine and a computer terminal try to...

    Search is Bad

    I tried doing a few searches for a post I saw about dying fur. I went to advanced search, keywords "dye fur" and narrowed it to the Puppetry forum. No results because the word "dye" is too common or too short. Not a lot of other choices for my search.

    Audition Song

    I was just in the car, listening to the radio, Q101 in Chicago, alternative music. A slow, acoustic guitar song comes on. I recognize the lyrics but can't figure out the song. Finally, I realize: It was "Hey Ya'", the song they used at the L.A. Muppet auditions. Only it was a slow, sappy...

    My Last Thread About Copyright

    My Last Thread About Copyright. Well, the last one I’ll start, anyway. Every time someone posts that he/she has a “Muppet replica” on e-Bay, the copyright issue comes up. And people feel pretty strongly both ways. Some have no problem with it and think it’s just great. Others feel the...

    Arrested Development

    Well, it looks like the end of "Arrested Development" tonight. Fox aired the final four episodes in a row tonight. And it had an ending to it. This was the funniest show on TV in the last three years. We watched the show from the beginning, saw every episode and we still bought the DVD's...
