Last Night

We had a great Cartoon Voices Panel last night. It should be watchable in full just below this message and you can find it on YouTube if you rummage around among the piano-playing cat videos…and all my webcasts can be viewed on this page. They're in chronological order with the newest at the top.

Two things happened that took matters out of my control. We had a lot of enthusiastic folks in the chat room who kept posting the same questions over and over and over and over and repeat that about forty more times. I finally had to use the "time out" function to block some of them from posting for five minutes. As a result, a lot of people who had legit questions that they asked once or twice went unnoticed amidst the deluge.

Something that I think needs to be explained to some Internet users — especially younger ones — is that enthusiasm is great but often, less is more. If you keep screaming, what you're saying goes unheard. People just notice that you're screaming. Anyway, I apologize to those of you who sent great questions that I didn't see until the show was over because…well, I have a lot of things to pay attention to during these webcasts. It's easy to miss something.

Meanwhile, the Steve Sherman interview was briefly taken offline due to a comment thread, wholly unrelated to anything in the video, that violated rules or common decency. That's all gone and the video is back.
