Just found this and thought it was cute............... makes me want a iPhone now.

I actually have an iPad now. I may have to check this app out. Not real sure about their claims of being able to entertain a kid with it though.

On a related note here is the funky new game for the XBOX 360 with Kinect. It's called Gunstringer and in it you move your hands to control a marionette in a western puppet show/adventure.

I know the video is long but you should check it out even if you only watch the first 3 minutes or so. Puppets are EVERYWHERE! I've tried the demo and it's quite fun and pretty darn funny too! Now if I can find a spare $40...but I need more foam too...

Well, you could just build a blue skeletton with a poncho- then you have both (puppetmaking and the game) at once... 

I had seen a very early demo video of the Gunstringer but had forgotten about it. This video is much more detailed and really gives you a feel for what them game is like. Hmmm.... may have to head to Game Stop.
