  • view from my pew 12

    Dear Internet Harrumph. That’s how I felt last week. My long-running late night radio show on Radio Upson Downs, “Hymns on my Organ” has been cancelled. Apparently it was not mainstream enough for a community radio station that only has a maximum audience of 4000 listeners and apparently they could not sell any advertising time during…

  • More puppetry

    A further Elmo related thought… People relate to Elmo the puppet as a real being because of the puppeteer behind  (or beneath) him.

  • keystone

    Time for me to confess. I have a problem. It is something that clearly does not bother lots of people, but causes me some angst. The problem is keystone. Not the cops from the black and white movies. But the adjusting of video projectors so that the image on the screen has vertical sides instead…
