Jay ThePal (and Kay ThePal) seem to be popping up all over social media lately. It took me a little while to figure out what was up with Jay ThePal, a puppet character that seemed to start popping up all over every social media website that you can think of lately. I think I first...
Gary The Puppet takes a trip through Web 2.0 companies in New York City. I’ve been meaning to post Gary The Puppet’s Magical Internet Adventure for awhile now. It’s a silly little DIY video about Gary The Puppet (of IndyMogul fame) traveling to a bunch of New York-based tech companies. Gary is performed in the...
Are you on Twitter? Like any good early adopter/online-fad-chasing-blogger I’ve had a Twitter account set-up for quite awhile now. Lately I’ve really been getting in to it too, so follow me on Twitter. You can read my random musings, eaves drop on conversations I’m having with fellow Twitters and find links to neat/cool/funny puppet videos...
In my opinion Blip.tv is the absolutely best place to host your videos if you are producing puppet podcasts (or any other kind of video podcast). The basic account is totally free and they offer a great set of features, including the ability to make a little money and can automatically post your videos to...
I was starting to write a couple posts for PuppetVision this afternoon when I noticed that YouTube was either unreachable or offline. I did some quick sleuthing and discovered that YouTube appears to have had it’s DNS record hijacked.

So, okay, I admit – I do a lot of blogging. In addition to PuppetVision, I also post over at PuppetBuilding.com, occasionally write about digital puppetry and related technology at Machin-X and I’ve recently started updating my Bear Town Production Journal (which was PuppetVision’s predecessor) again. I’ve been pondering away to make it easier to...

The open source Miro video player (I last wrote about it back in June when it was still called The Democracy Player) is out of beta testing and it’s a fantastic application. Miro can automatically download, manage and play videos from RSS-based “channels” and popular video sharing sites like YouTube. It’s a great way to...
The PuppetVision YouTube Group – where I regularly share many of the best puppet films and videos featured here on PuppetVision – is now home to 100 videos. If you’re a relatively new reader to the blog or just looking for some fun/interesting/great puppet films and videos, spend some time exploring the collection on YouTube...
Puppet Madness is a new video sharing web site devoted to puppetry. A brand new web site that has just launched is Puppet Madness, which is sort of “Puppet Tube”; a video-sharing site for videos about puppets and puppet building. YouTube already hosts just about every puppet-related video you could want so I’m not completely...
