Home Movies: The SquopPosted by: dogtrax in Adventures in StopMotion Animation, Homepage, humorI blogged a few weeks about the movie that my son was making. Well, I helped him finish it this weekend and it is a hoot. It is all about an imaginary creature called The Squop that first allegedly eats our cat and then our youngest son. He even wrote lyrics to a song based on We Three Kings for his cast of animated Pea Detectives that we all sang. Meanwhile, we decided to set up a blog for him to showcase the movies he has been making. Check out Crazy Cartoonz. Peace (on video), One of my neighbors — a high school student who sometimes babysits for us — and his friends recently won a top prize in a competition with the National Math and Science Initiative for the music video they created that celebrates math and science, in a goofy geeky way. I get a kick out it, and they did a fine job with the production. Check it out: Peace (in numbers), This video comes via Project Tomorrow (which oversees the Speak Up Project for youth) and the video is a powerful message about priorities and needs of education from the view of students. In 2008, the involvement in the annual Speak Up Survey involved: Peace (in listening), Kevin Someone shared this video over at one of my social networking sites and I just had to crack up. It is such a great spoof of how a book gets published, with everyone doing the happy dance as the book moves along the process. From somewhere in my RSS feed came this beauty: Peace (in the funnies), So, it’s a day late, but still worth the view. Some of you know I love the Muppets and this video had my kids and I cracking up: Peace (in puppet patriotism), Kevin This is one of an occasional email that I write to an author after reading their books. I have no idea what possesses me, but that non-reflective stance has never stopped me before. Today, I am writing an email to Bob Servant (or is it Neil Forsythe?) who wrote a wonderful tome entitled: Delete This At Your Peril! that centers on Servant’s email exchanges with spammers who clog our inboxes with harrowing tales of royal riches, Russian brides and other adventures. ![]()
Bob, of Scotland, decides to join in the fracas with wit and humor, and I was laughing so hard my children were worried about me. Here is a blurb from his website: Delete This At Your Peril features the anarchic exchanges between Bob and the hapless spam merchants. As they offer Bob lost African millions, Russian brides and get-rich-quick scams he responds by generously offering some outlandish schemes of his own. The spammers may have breached his firewall, but they have met their match as Bob Servant rises heroically to the challenge, and sows confusion in his wake. Also at Bob’s website, I found his email address and wrote him a letter.
The book can be ordered via Amazon. (Bob promises to ship me two talking lions for promoting his book, so tell them I sent ya) Peace (in humor), |
