VacaChat is a little hour-long show I give on my Ustream channel every few days (see schedule box below for showtimes). It is a loosely-formatted chat on topics as varied as cartooning, comedy, movies, puppetry, art, and even opera! However, the primary theme of the show is owls and the experieces of being someone with M.O.D. (Molly Obsessive Disorder). People keep telling me it is a lot of fun (I certainly have fun hosting them), so please feel free to come on by and we can share some laughs and giggles! It has a chat room with moderators to keep things G-rated. (Note: as of January 24, 2011, the chat room will only be open for one hour before and after events such as the VacaChats, slumber parties, and Story-Time)

I also host "DrawAlongs" where I put the camera over my shoulder as I ply some form of artistry (or in some cases, attempted artistry) on the drawing board. It's good, clean (except in the case of the finger painting) fun! These are even more occasional than the VacaChats, so be sure to consult the schedule below.
