		<title>Puppet Work &#8211; Gypsy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It dawns on me that I&#8217;ve never shared any images from the puppet work I&#8217;ve been doing over at Live Arts. It&#8217;s a very different challenge coming up with puppetry solutions for live theater than it is for these odd web videos. For one thing, I&#8217;m designing for people who may never have operated a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloud &#8211; first draft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She was floating. She was upside-down. She could see the thin black lines above her, thin, criss-crossing lines of branches, outlined in white, faint gray behind. She could feel tiny dots of cold on her cheeks, softly, gradually. The brightness didn&#8217;t hurt. The pressure was fading.
She had seen an old educational film from the 1950s [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Comics and Hardware Stores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to break a personal taboo and tell you about a dream I just had. I normally shy away from anything but the most passing reference to my dreams, because I know something that shockingly few people seem to understand: that other people&#8217;s dreams are incredibly boring. Listening to other people&#8217;s dreams is like [...]]]></description>

		<title>From the Desk of Dr. Kranium &#8211; 3 Feb 10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is transcribed from a print-out left rather casually on top of a pair of shoes in the middle of the floor. One can only guess its intended recipients have all stepped over or around it over the course of the day. Much of the text was hastily marked out, but we&#8217;re fairly sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Creating (and my lack thereof)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s snowing again here. It&#8217;s notable from the standpoint that I grew up here, and growing up we almost never had anything close to serious snow. Years of half-inch dustings frustrated the young me, who wanted nothing more than a mid-week vacation, enforced, where maybe we&#8217;d get to light a fire in the fireplace.
Granted, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Sara makes with the awesome. Also, how&#8217;s that for a price, folks? One drink and then whatever you feel is fair AFTER you&#8217;ve seen the show? I mean, it&#8217;s just ridiculous! You were gonna drink ANYWAY. Our biggest problem will be if people drink their entire wallet and can&#8217;t pay us anything for the show. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Richard the Third, the drinking game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So seeing as a week from tonight we&#8217;ll be performing Richard the Third in a bar/rock club/café/music hall with only 24 hours of rehearsal (see figure 1)…
figure 1
…we thought it only appropriate to take measures to ensure the audience is too drunk to notice any textual missteps or random theatrical inconsistencies. To that end, we [...]]]></description>

Funny how you spend a week building a new set, blowing off friends and family, so to be able to film an Xmas special that resides firmly in the continuity of the upcoming season, only to have two feet of snow drop on you and change everything. For the better, I think.
2009 has [...]]]></description>

		<title>The first post about Season Four</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the main things keeping me from shooting and posting quick, short Jigsaw videos in the interim between Seasons π and 4 was, I am ashamed to admit, the purchase of my new computer. See, the main Jigsaw set is, in fact, my desk, as hard as that may be to believe.
The Jigsaw monitor [...]]]></description>

This is a temporary thing; I&#8217;m tired of deleting bots, and don&#8217;t have the brainjuices to get captcha or something working to avoid it. So for now, if you want to register to comment on a post, you [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry?&#8221;
&#8220;The sausage guy. He&#8217;s usually at this table on Wednesdays?&#8221;
&#8220;Oh, he&#8217;s in the hospital.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, shoot. Is he okay?&#8221;
&#8220;Don&#8217;t know. He probably won&#8217;t be coming back.&#8221;
&#8220;Is he that sick?&#8221;
&#8220;I suppose that&#8217;s a matter of opinion.&#8221;
&#8220;…I don&#8217;t, what&#8211;&#8221;
&#8220;The farmer&#8217;s market has &#8216;disinvited&#8217; him from returning.&#8221;
&#8220;Why? His sausages were incredible.&#8221;

		<title>Patrick Duffy &amp; the Crab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Meanwhile, I think my favorite puppet thing on the web is fast becoming &#8220;Patrick Duffy &#038; the Crab&#8220;, wherein Patrick Duffy hangs out with a giant crab. Simple premise, solid writing, ultra low-key performances. Makes me cackle, then laugh silently, then wipe tears from my eyes.
Have I started blogging again? Hm.

		<title>Jigsaw on Tech Channel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d just about forgotten about it. Back in 2007, old pal Jay Leibowitz called me with a proposition. Six months of plotting, writing, contract negotiations and headaches later, I was in Jay&#8217;s living room making five original episodes of Jigsaw for AT&#038;T&#8217;s Tech Channel. Jay&#8217;s buddy Justin Newman did triple duty on camera/lights/sound, Jay directed, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the MacGuffin of Art</title>

This response, originally intended for the comments, has spiraled out of control, and therefore I am putting it here. Feel free to ridicule this post on your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jigsaw π &#8211; Friday, February 27th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[YES.
The challenge was to create a new mini-episode of Jigsaw every weekday in the month of February. Today is the final day.
Monday through Friday. 5 episodes a week. 20 episodes total.
Not only did I succeed, but I managed to get all but one of them up before the end of normal East Coast business hours. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jigsaw π &#8211; Thursday, February 26th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this pen in the first couple days of February, and brought it home, knowing that if I got stuck for subject matter for season π, I could always do something with it. I mean, it really does say &#8220;Economic Stimulus Payment&#8221; on it, with the website of the IRS. Completely boggles my mind.

I must have had a copy of that movie in high school. That is the only thing that would explain why every frame is completely imprinted on the back of my retinas. I must [...]]]></description>

It could not possibly have had anything to do with work. That&#8217;s just crazy talk.
