podcasting and the holidays

I've been listening to and watching a lot of podcasts lately. My most favorite one so far is called diggnation. I especially like the video (they do both video and audio). It's super funny. It's two guys who sit on a couch with their laptops on their lap and they drink beer and talk about technology news from digg.com. It's better than it sounds...really! (wait a minute...except for the part in the current episode where they talk about rufies).

Also, I am trying to put together an animation setup for my kids as their xmas gift. My son used to make amazing little short stop action animated movies, with legos and clay and little toys. They were so cool. But then he had computer problems and then his camera died, and somehow almost all of his movies were wiped away. Dang!

My daughter started to get into it as well.

So for the holidays this year, I want to get them a table, a storage thing for their clay and figures and props, lighting, a tripod, a backdrop thing, I may be able to have them use my old digital camera. And then, I want to get a website or podcast going for them, so people can see their neat movies.
