dotBoom - a puppet show about web designers.

More with the making of Poodles.

In which I ramble on for a while about the progress on Snitch and Clark, and also show you a bit of Poodles the Psychotic Raccoon.

It's very early in the morning, and I'm making hands for the new versions of Clark and Snitch, and I'm showing you how I do that. Also, I'm forgetting the date and, more than once, forgetting to press the record button.

Farrah has a lot of strange ideas about what should go on his puppet, but Brian just wants to work on the puppets for season 2 of dotBoom. Also, dotBoom season 2 is coming.

Mojo sings. Did you know that he can sing? Now, sure, he can't sing terribly WELL, but he can sing.

Behold, the beginning of season 2, in "making of" format!

Colbert scores an exclusive interview with the potential VP!

Help the puppet Stephen Colbert get on the Colbert Report!

It's finally coming! It's finally coming!

It's the truth about Ben Stein!

It's true! They totally stole my design. And I have proof! I made this thing 2 years ago, and it's practically the same, feature for feature!What the hell, Jobs?

3 jerks in Texas have started a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft because LIVE was only up intermittently over parts of the holiday season, due to all of the extra traffic. They're asking for 5 million dollars in damages for injuries suffered.I tell you, it's days like these that make me wish stupidity was a criminal offense.

The government of Canada is trying to add a second levy for recordable media, this time including iPods. They want us to give them $75 extra per iPod to "cover" the music theft that some people engage in, even if you're doing nothing wrong!It has to be stopped!

Why's Wi-fi so expensive in hotels? It's like they tried to figure out the way to gouge people the very most, and this is what they came up with.It's insane!

They're trying, again, to put through a Canadian DMCA. Don't let them! They're just jerks who're trying to take away a bunch of our rights, and they're only doing it to make more money off of us.Jerks!

I wasn't going to talk about the writer's strike, but fate has forced my hand. I'm involved, now, I'm personally affected, and I can't pretend I'm not. I won't pretend!Stop the writer's strike so that the last season of Battlestar Galactica can be made! Give in to the writers' demands!

Old people shouldn't use the Wii! If we keep letting them play Wii sports, there's giong to be a crap-ton of accidents, and we're ALL going to have to pay for it!

Looking for high-quality puppets at low-quality prices? Then come to Hoggworks! At Hoggworks, we don't suck very much. And our prices are good!And also, we make dotBoom!

This was me when I was in line the night before Leopard came out. It was so much fun!

The Holt Renfrew thing was just a rumor, which is good, because it would've sucked.So I'm glad we don't have it ---

Supposedly the iPhone is coming to Canada! But it's coming to ... Holt Renfrew stores? And it's going to cost $799?!

An adaptation of George Saunders' short story "Ask the Optimist," available in his newest collection, "The Braindead Megaphone." Produced by The Sound of Young America and Hoggworks. Featuring: Andy Daly (The Office, Mad TV), Dan Klein (Kasper Hauser), John Hodgman (The Daily Show), Xeni Jardin (Boing Boing), Jonathan Katz, Jen Kirkman, Maria Bamford, James Adomian and Jonathan Coulton.

Sometimes I want to smack those people who walk around with Bluetooth headphones in their ears. They're so annoying!It's like, hey, jerk, why don't you focus on the conversation you're having with the person right in front of you?

So the iTunes update is out, and now the ringtones are in the library. One problem: I can't get an iPhone in Canada! iTunes is TAUNTING me! It's so frustrating!

It's all been leading to this!The team finally finished the HyperCrom project, but will the client even care? And what's going on with Diab, anyway? In this very special season finale, lives will be changed! People will leave the company! Hearts will be broken! Jokes will be made! And nothing at dotBoom will ever be the same again!This episode features extra-special guest stars Jesse Thorn, Amber MacArthur, Yuri Baranovsky, and Ben "Jigsaw" Jones. It's star-studded!

Brian tried to record a video mail for The Totally Rad Show. Snitch had other plans.

Another out-take from the upcoming season finale of dotBoom. Check it out!

Check out this outtake from the upcoming season finale ...

Only one episode remains before the season finale of dotBoom, the hit show that nobody's watching! Jason, needing resolution with his father, travels to the other side of the country to have a chat with the old man. At the same time, back in the office, Joni has some unsurprisingly sudden news.Fifteen minutes from now, nothing at dotBoom will ever be the same again!

Mojo seeks to do something to combat the sagging morale in the company, but Boss offers serious resistance. And Maddy has some very important, very wonderful news for Jason, news that might just send him over the edge ...

Boss finds out he has a son, Newton seeks compensation for the anti-porn camp fiasco, and Diab, well ... Diab has some interesting updates on his relationship with Ethel.

Farrah's back, but where has he been all this time? And when he learns he's been replaced, will he fight for his job? Also, Diab brings his new girlfriend to the office. Will her uniqueness be too much for the company to handle?

Here are some outtakes from episodes 23 and 24 of dotBoom.

It's a star-studded episode, featuring the voices of Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, and Alex Albrecht!While Mojo hires Leo to teach the company about the benefits of podcasting, Kevin and Alex offer the team a chance to bid on a contract to redesign digg.com. When the team finds they're in the running, elation turns to confusion as they learn that the way Kevin will make his decision is both bizarre, and deadly.

Clark learns that Boss will offer no help dealing with the Joni situation, a meeting with the client sheds a light on his bizarre grieving process, and Diab finally gets an answer out of Kiki. But what will it be?

dotBoom made some bumper videos for the FITC Awards show. They turned out pretty well, and we wanted to show you. Here they are, all mashed into one 13 minute piece of comedic goodness.

In a very special episode of dotBoom, the client forces a new direction for the HyperCrom project, Clark and Joni find they're less than compatible, and the company is dealt a stunning blow.

This is the short highlight reel I made up for the Webby Awards submission. I present it now in lieu of real content.Real content is coming soon. I promise.Â

Various paperdoll making-of ramblings, and also some bloopers.
