It has been eight days shy of a year since I last added a link to the Links page of the Cuparium. The two newest links, added today, are in the Reference Tools category.

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010The Late Art Clokey
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010I just noticed on the Voice Chasers site that animator Art Clokey passed away on Friday, 8 January 2010. Read the obituary in the Los Angeles Times.
As one who has always been fascinated by puppetry and animation, I appreciate his contributions and offer my condolences to his loved ones.
Dost Thou Twitterest?
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Aye, someone (L) has lured me into signing up for Twitter. If you are a Twit, er, Twitter user, just search for me under the user name (wait for it) Cuparius. Be seeing you…
Happy Belated New Year from the Cuparium
Monday, January 4th, 2010Due to technical difficulties (seriously), the article I intended to write last month in the previous year is being written and posted this month of the current year.
For the second year in a row, I forgot to post the annual link to the words to Auld Lang Syne, the international theme song of the New Year by Robert Burns, the Scottish Bard. This is a tradition of the Cuparium since 1999, which was also the year of the Cuparium’s birth. Ten years already. Good grief.
I also forgot to mention something I usually reserve for September or October, which is my annual self-back-patting for having successfully survived another year without smoking a single cigarette. That makes it a little over seven years since I quit. And although I haven’t quit pipes or cigars, I have coincidentally abstained from smoking either for the last 14 months.
Despite the late posting, I am hopeful that 2010 will be a more productive year both in and out of the Web logs.
Have a great year!
