Great acting job...
Tonight’s Colbert
Tonight’s Colbert is a re-run, with the Dean Kamen interview that was featured here. The pass-off from The Daily Show was great, so let’s watch that.

More Sparky
First click here to watch a video I posted of Charles Schulz from 1963…
…then come back here and watch an interview from 1985, to see an older Schulz with his daughter Jill. Note how in ‘63 Schulz insisted he was Charlie Brown, and in ‘85 he denies it!

68 Beacon of Hope
Check out the comment that’s just been added to a previous post, by the subject of that post, John Walsh. His e-mail address is hidden from public view, but I’ve seen it and, yes, it’s him.
A follow-up article in the Boston Globe about Walsh’s legal battle with a group of Boston Brahmins, to become a resident of 68 Beacon Street, is here.

Yvonne Va Voom!
See my previous posting about Yvonne Craig, with the picture of her and Elvis. I bought a publicity photo of her taken for a two-part “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” episode that had been spliced into a movie for European release. There was another photo of Yvonne Craig that caught my eye, of her in an open red sweater, taken early in her career, but I decided it was too revealing to post on the blog.

Fab Favicons
So you think my favicon is boring, do you? Or perhaps your browser is IE6 and you haven’t even seen it, yet? Well, that’s it in the corner, and here it is magnified.
All you get to work with is 16×16=256 pixels. That’s it. I tried coming up with a representative icon, but ultimately I decided to keep it literal. Using Microsoft Paint, I clicked the pixels in one-by-one, manually.
I could have done something fancier, like the font-smoothed favicon in the corner of this paragraph that starts out scrolling, but the pixel count came out perfectly for the way I did it, so that’s what I chose. (Note: Firefox may not show the scrolling effect.)

Pulling Zimmy’s Strings
Robert Zimmerman has looked better, but he’s still out there, cranking away! Click here.
Take note that the Flash video player at that link doesn’t display a preview still frame, but it has a timer. I’d rather have the preview frame, but I’d very much like to have a timer on my Flash videos. The new version of the player I’m using still doesn’t have one, and it has technical problems besides, but I’ll find something.
