To me this claim that McCain claims the invention the Blackberry is about as substantial as the Republican myth that Al Gore claimed the invention of the Internet. I haven’t researched it but I’m sure that at least Gore knows how to email. And the fact that McCain has publicly called himself “computer illiterate” is certainly is something everyone should know.

I did the stop-motion animation on this ambitious little short in 1962 or 1963. It is, of course, inspired by the H.G. Wells novel and the George Pal movie. But my traveler goes back in time, not forward, and is not quite as philosophically oriented as Well’s traveler.
I always wanted my animated films to have a sound tracks. Now this one does. I had fun writing the dialogue to make some sense of the existing action. The music was composed on an ancient Casio CTK-150 keyboard.
