[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

There is a song I have about long babies…

Tonight I laid down the trumpet accompaniment using my keyboard….

This weekend? Vocals!

If I had a little house like this I would be a happy little boy. More about the house: here

Life is great when puppets are a part of it.

While watching this video, I came to think of how wonderful it is that our world is so visitable!

It is the perfect size for someone of my size to see the whole thing if they were so inclined. That’s really interesting!  I can’t believe it took me 25 years to think this thought for the first time. If we lived on that last star, there would be places in our planet that we would literally never be able to see! Because they were too far away! Imagine having a globe on your desk with a continent on it you would never be able to visit, but you knew existed?

I understand that this happened in the 18th century, and I understand that all the places would probably be visitable in the 28th century. But, given where we are at right now it has me slightly weirded out.

Life is weird.

I feel enabled.

I work with a man from the Himalayas. Curious, today at work I asked him if the breed of cat ‘Himalayans’ actually lived in the Himalayas. He was unaware of the fact that a breed of cat existed of this name and asked that I show him a picture so I showed him the picture above. His reaction: Oh, that’s a common street cat! Those things are everywhere, always meowing and the like. There are tons of those street cats all over my city, and really any city in the Himalayas. When I explained to him that the breed was expensive we developed a business plan which results in both of us resigning from technology consulting and focusing on cat trapping and exportation. If you ever feel depressed, understand that you can fly to India and be surrounded by these cute puffs of joy in mere minutes. *Editor’s note - despite their appearance the cats may be legit mean.

Oops!
Last night in my (very tired) stupor I forgot to acknowledge londonbeard.tumblr.com as the operator and voice of the brown puppet, and more importantly the brainchild behind making a puppet video. I say this for three reasons:

1) To give credit where credit is due.

2) To not appear as if I sit at my mother’s house all alone and make puppet videos.

3) To make sure that everyone knows the more compelling puppet (the white puppet) is operated and voiced by me.

I would post more videos of the puppets, but they are christmas gifts for people whose names are dropped in the video (and it would be horrible to spoil the surprise)

My Vimeo account only give me one HD video a week, so unfortunately this super exclusive behind the scenes video is in normal definition.

It’s always easier to sleep when there are not puppets at the foot of your bed.

Two Reasons:

1) They may animate during the night and attack.

2) I have exactly enough hands to play with them.


Sucker londonbeard.tumblr.com left them here yesterday.


This is the introductory scene from one of the best videos that someone could receive for Christmas.

Oh I forgot, it’s not interesting…. Its just neat to see the puppets in HD.

It’s amazing how much a little piano can improve a terrible day. I mean that in the sense that this piano is small and size! Also I can’t play the piano..

This image of Niagara Falls (above) was discovered twelve years ago in a box at Newcastle University in England. The box, marked “Daguerrotypes,” had been languishing on a shelf in Special Collections since 1926, when it was given to the library by descendants of British industrialist Hugh Lee Pattinson. Then a student of the early form of photography just perfected by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, Pattinson was in Canada on a business trip when he stopped at the Falls to practice his technique. It took more than twenty minutes for the scene to afx on the silver-coated copper plate inside his camera; afterward, he would envelop the plate in warm mercury fumes, slowly drawing the image to the surface. It must have been thrilling, but no more so than when, a century and half later, historians learned what had been unearthed at Newcastle: the frst photograph ever taken in Canada.
