Stan Lee on "To Tell the Truth"



Kitty Carlisle died on April 17th, this year. I never really knew why Kitty Carlisle was famous, I knew her only from her appearances on TTTT.

In honor of Kitty and of one of my favorite comic book writers, I present this appearance of both of them on the show To Tell The Truth.

Also appearing on this segment, are Tom Poston (who was a regular on many incarnations of the Bob Newhart show) , Bill Cullen (who did occasionally guest host TTTT) , Peggy Cass, and Kitty Carlisle. The show was hosted at this time by Gary Moore.

My grandfather appear on this show as well as What's my Line many moons ago. I have a copy of the what's my line appearance. I may post it someday.

Stan is very young in this appearance. Newer fans may not recognize him in his beard and longer hair.

In the days when Stan was writing 2 comics a week, his works were called comics and most considered them kid stuff. Today they call much of the same kind of work Graphic Novels.

There were many great artists as well as writers working on these comics back then. And the topics covered by these comics reflected the times they were written in like a mirror.

Personally, I would like to see some of these comics re-published as a historical reference.

Universal Employee Video


South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were commissioned to create a Universal Studios Employee orientation video.

Apparently, Universal was not pleased, and rejected it.

But, through the awesome power of the Internests, we at the Krackpot bring it to you here for your viewing pleasure.

Many cameos by famous folk. Check it out.

Reactable: Improvisation Demo

Reactable: Basic Demo #2

Reactable: Basic Demo #1



The reactable, is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers complete control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a luminous table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

This instrument is being developed by a team of digital luthiers (Sergi Jordà, Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso), at the Music Technology Group within the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.
