anomaly among blogs. Founded in 1991, formerly on CompuServe and
Prodigy, ZDNet was purchased in 2000 by CNET (CBS Interactive), and reports

12. Juggling.TV
If I learned anything during my initial search on this topic, it’s that women
have a tough-yet-rewarding time juggling careers and motherhood (gee,
thanks Google). All search engine bitching aside, however, this site is perfect
for those whose passion centers on keeping multiple items
airborne. Juggling.TV bills itself as the online depository for juggling videos,
and I see no reason to dispute their claim. The blog portion of their site is
frequently updated with items pulling from various social media destinations,
and it’s both instructive for the practitioner and entertaining for the
bystander. From keeping items aloft with your feet to juggling while riding a
unicycle, this video blog and its participants never fail to impress.

When people think of puppetry, they probably imagine favorites such as

to giant and shadow puppets. This site covers any and all variations, as well as
industry news, short films, patterns, and even workshop information. If you’re
a puppeteer groupie, this is the place to find all the hunkiest options for your
next amorous conquest.
