I just cannot get emotional whenever I watch him. I feel like I lost my best friend. But in some ways he was our best friend.

Hear hear to that, too! It was an enormous loss. But what a life he lived.

Things like this video always make me wonder what he would have done, if he had lived. I feel sure we're missing out on some pretty spectacular stuff. Although I always hope that, once he saw everyone else jumping on the CGI bandwagon, he would have jumped right back off and focused on traditional puppetry. :smile:

Unfortunately we won't know the answers to those questions we can only guess. My opinion is is he might've gotten into all the high tech stuff but I'm sure he'd never forget the muppets. It's just so I don't wanna say eerie but its almost like he knew where technology would be 10-20 years from now. Just an amazing, amazing man. We need more Jim Hensons in this world today.
