My favorites are the theme song, (of course!), Come and Follow Me, and the "Around the Universe" single I got on EBay a while ago. Oh, and Workin', and Magic be With You, aww... I love 'em all! Especially "Yes we Can" (AKA the Doozer song), Catch the tail by the Tiger, and Sweet Little Treat...

Actually, the cyberHome 300 can output both NTSC and PAL - RadioShack has 'em on sale for $40. Pretty good unit, very small, and runs on 110 and 220 volt power. I just bought one for another project last night, and it works great. Good picture too, and (yes, there's more!), it also has...

Hey folks... I am starting on a project using BASIC Stamps (a type of micro-controller) and it got me to thinking... has anyone used precesion stepping motors to control parts of their puppets? For example- rolling eyes, hand grips etc? A stepper mottor is a motor that is designed to move...

Don't worry. If anyone wants, I can pick up copies at WM and ship 'em out to the non-us folks, or to anyone who'se walmart does not stock them. I live near a Super Walmart and they have a huge area full of HIT stuff. -Rick

Okay... here's this situation... (...my parents went away for a week's vacation...) (those of you who grew up in the 80s would remember that) Anyway, I mentioned the Fraggles being sold at Hot Topic to my sister. She says she wants a doozer. Since I haven't been to a Hot Topic, do they...

Well, folks, it looks like I'm gonna have to buy a multi-region DVD player. I think there is software I can run on my computer to enable multi-region DVD playback as well... -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

Well, I must say that I usually only read, I might post once in a while..... When this board was on Delphi Forums (Remember those?) I was more active, but in recent times, I've just not had the time. :( It's kinda like your toys when you were little - you might have had a few that got put...

Hey people! For those of you who have stuck with Muppet Central since the days of Delphi Forums, you might remember the annual "Festival of the Bells" held every December, held in the MC chat room on Delphi. Since there is no Chat room now, the tradition has gone by the wayside. What I...

Great... now I can look forward to ANOTHER hard drive crash! You see, every time I typed up the lyrics for "All around the world", my hard drive would die shortly thereafter. I wonder if reading them on the internet (and thusly saving them to my hard drive) counts... We'll see.... Maybe...

Can anyone shed any light on this? I was wondering how the final three episodes were handled in foreign versions of FR? I was wondering, due to the way the last three episodes all inter-twined with each other, how the plot was set up. Did Doc have to move? If so, to where? I would imagine...

Hello to one and all! I just wanted to drop in and say "Hi!" I know it's been a while, I've been involved with other things. As some of you may know, my dad died in March. I never knew how much there was to do to settle everything. Of course, he _was_ sick, and I'm glad he's not...

Wow!! I remember I had a lazy-eye fixed when I was two. (about)... I remember waking up and my eyes were taped shut and I couldn't see anything. To this day I am terrified of hospitals etc. It's wierd, but hey, it just goes to show how childhood trauma can affect a person. Remember though...

Here's how the Henson Co. could "integrate" alternalte languages, alternate Doc segments etc... DVDs have the capability to have multiple language tracks on the disk - in fact, most movies in the US have at least English and either Spanish or French as alternate audio tracks. This ability...

Tonight, starting at 9 PM EST and lasting till whenever, I'm going to have a beta test of my chat system. What does this mean? This means, that while my chat room is theoretically working, it has not been tested very well. That's the meaning of "beta" testing - it is a trial run to kinda shake...

Congratulations! You've found Travelling Matt's cameo on TMTM. That little Fraggle sure does get around, doesn't he? :) Other "fraggle" cameos include Sprocket making an appearance on MCC, the whole gang appearing in Muppet Family Christmas, and I *think* I remember seeing some of the...

You see, the original idea of the web was to create a way to pass information - without regards to the appearance on the end-user's system The original spec for HTML contained (and still does contain) tags such as <STRONG>, <EM>, <H1> thru <H6> etc - and the idea was that the end user's browser...

Actually, I read that it was Opera that was borkifying MSNs web page, in response to that fact that MSN's servers were specifically messing up Opera's attempts to render MSN.com properly. You see, when you connect to a web site, your browser sends certain information to the web server. Kinda...

I've made some changes! After a glorious crash a few months ago, and other things taking place, I am proud to say that Rick's Muppety Chat Server is coming back! Last Thanksgiving, my hard drive in my main server box decided to go clackety-clackety-clackety crunch! Needless to say, that's not...

Hmmm... Aaaand. the header menus only work when I am running MSIE on my Windows box, but when I run Opera on my Linux box, all I get is a blank space - and yes, I do have the Flash player installed on my box. Interesting. Also, MC doesn't seem to work properly on my Commodore 64. Fix it...

It's on right now! -Rick
