They Were Puppets

The Puppet Press Show: "They Were Puppets" is episode 1 from the Puppet Press. Someone left a camera rolling in the office and the puppets started vloging. It's up to you to send in your puppet related content.

Why we like PNN over MySpace

Sure, MySpace has flashing, pretty colors, big ads and endless headshots of people we don't know, but honestly, PNN has personal stories and actual people writing on a regular basis. The Puppet Press likes PNN because we can write articles and publish them without knowing html, or having to find it from random websites.

Happy Holidays: It's August! Apple email at it's Best!

Too Early for the Holidays? Not according to Apple. It's August 15th and already they're sending a holiday email, reminding the faithful following of iPod/iPhone/iLife/iDon't Have a LIfe users to get on the bandwagon and shell out cash for a winter gift. So they're 4 months early... Can we say "someone didn't have another good email to send?" We don't blame them. It must be hard at their email writing department... after all, emailing everyone who's ever bought or thought about an Apple product with every single OS update, iPod incarnation, iTunes new artist spotlight... we get about 3 emails a WEEK from Apple. ATTN: APPLE, We love you already. Don't paly these silly promo games. Stick to the catchy dancing ads and funny Chiat\Day videos we know and love.

Skittles Rabbit: A Puppet?

Many of you have seen it. The Skittels rabbit commercial. The tale of want and betrayal. The idea that we can be betrayed by the very thing we want and the very thing we had. Loss. Love. Lust. All these things summed up in a candy commercial. So many of you may wonder what puppet sold out. Was it Puffin the white bunny? Wiggles the rabbit? No. The Skittels rabbit is NOT A PUPPET! It is a cable controled mechanical beast. We hope no one is offended, and we hope this does not damage the good name of puppets.

A Day at the Zeum

Are you visiting San Francisco this summer? Zeum is a fun place to explore.

Zeum, as in "museum" is a technology and arts center that gives kids, parents and teachers a hands-on approach to media. Zeum has create-your-own music video workshops, a news broadcasting studio and even a puppet theater. Next to Zeum is the Zeum Store, which sells many things, including PUPPETS! We recommend this place as a great summer destination in San Francisco.
