I don’t need these. We don’t use oil and vinegar sets now, despite having received some as presents. And yet… I want this Oil & Vinegar set because it’s witty and graceful. How often can you say that about something designed to carry condiments?

We just returned from the winebar Vino, run by Rob’s old chum Chuck Furuya. May I say, that if you are in Honolulu and want to have a nice range of wines and a pleasant evening, go to Vino. We’re hoping to take Rob’s folks back to the main restaurant, Hiroshi’s on Saturday. We also

I had dinner with Jay Lake tonight, which was fun. It’s nice to catch up with someone, like, in real life, instead of just existing online. I love you guys, but it’s nice to see facial expression beyond an emoticon. That and Jay is funny. Afterwards, I went to see The Curse of the Golden

If you’re interested in the design process, I’d suggest clicking over to Miss Emily DeCola’s website where you can see the design process for the monkeys we are building.

While we are on the subject of very cool bug, -e- sent me a link to The Zymoglyphic Museum Curator’s Web Log: “Designer” Jewelry with Insect Larvae which features the art collaboration of Hubert Duprat and a caddis fly. The caddis fly larvae create a wearable tube out of the materials in their natural environment.
The jaw is creating two problems; it’s contributing to the ventilation issue, because it’s solid fiberglass, so is providing a shelf that the actor’s breath bounces against, shooting it up against the eyes. It’s also not fitting one of the actors well. This bear needs to be able to fit multiple people which provides challenges,
3d-printers I just saw this article about 3-d printers, which is like SF happening right now. I’ve seen a few things printed out by a 3-d printer, but I had no idea that the technology was becoming as accessible as it is. This is amazing stuff. One of the applications that they are talking about

YouTube – Robbie Rotten spot (Season 2) (correct spot posted now) Ooo! Someone posted the Nick Jr. Lazytown spots on youtube, and I’m actually in one. In the middle of this one Robbie’s periscope pops up and that’s me. I mean, it’s only a pair of eyes on a stick, but it’s still fun. They
This kind of day is the hardest of all. Thor and I came in at 9:00 today because his character was in a scene at the beginning of the day. The other puppeteers were on standby and arrived at 11:00, but we still hadn’t shot a puppet scene yet. In fact, none of us were

I got a call from the woman I interviewed with last week to come in and talk about a specific project. Woo-hoo! It went very well and I’ve got a small design project for her company, Lessons Learned, due on Monday. I also went to WRW’s Writers’ Workshop and that was a lot of fun.
