Here’s a family portrait of all the puppets that I’ve made over the last several years. Thought I’d get a photo in before a couple leave at Christmas.

Project of the day: J’s Stop Motion Animations

Posted by Verne on February 24, 2012 None comments

I fixed J up with some stop motion software on my unused Droid phone today. He took to it immediately. I’m hoping to get him fixed up with sound effects, voices, and music at some point. Here is one of his longer silent films. The speech bubble at the beginning says “Me again.” The green brain slugs have been featured in several of his short films. Keep in mind that he just turned 9 yesterday. :)

Thank you, Sock Dreams!

Merino wool toe socks in men’s sizes are fantastic!

Weirdness of the day: Spongebob Bandages

Posted by Verne on January 12, 2012 None comments

In keeping with the band-aid theme, we have Spongebob moving into new lines of work. If you will remember, he was working in the posterior cleaning trade. Apparently he’s now available to sop up your child’s blood – ew!

Weirdness of the day: abusive Minnie Mouse

Posted by Verne on January 12, 2012 None comments

Saw these band-aids at the grocery store. Pay close attention to the middle, pink bandage. Yes, Minnie is slapping Mickey full on the face. I’m pretty sure that spousal abuse band-aids are not okay.

Sorry about the focus. My camera couldn’t lock on to the shiny tin.


Weirdness of the day: freaking huge spider

Posted by Verne on January 12, 2012 None comments

I have never seen such a colorful, large spider this far north. I took this photo in late October. It was about as big as a half dollar. I could see her eyes she was so large. Her colourings were impressive.
