Say hello to they cast of Elmo's website. We all know who the star is, but what about the unsung heroes - the
supporting actors and actresses? Some seem to appear more than Elmo himself, but he still gets top
billing, since that's part of his contract, and nobody wants to insult a primadona's vanity.
In order by age, here they are:

EMH, or Elmo's Male Human. Your humble author, webmaster (quite the slacker on that one), and
maintainer of all things gadgety around the Elmo abode. You can usually tell EMH by the amount of
hair on the legs.

EFH, or Elmo's Female Human. She can usually be found sitting on the sofa eating bon-bons all day long.
She has a serious addiction to
her coffee, so the fellow
castmembers know to stay out of her path to Mr. Coffee in the morning.
She's also the staff photographer, and takes
fantastic photos of just about
anything. (Of course she'll never admit it.)

Of course everybody knows that the STAR of the show is Elmo. Seen here in his summer haircut, he's cool
and clean. Elmo celebrates is birthday on Valentines Day each year, and he's 8 years old.
He's a mixed breed, Spitz (mini american eskimo) and Cocker Spaniel, but has grown bigger than both
of his parents, oddly enough. He still gets to visit his mother once in a while, since she belongs
to EMH's brother.
Like his humans, Elmo is perpetually on a diet, since he prefers to lay on the bed all day vs. actually
exercising (except for his crumb-snarfing muscles). He does, however, get his share of yummy treats
courtesy of droppings from the three smaller humans.

Emily is the oldest of the mini-humans, and will be 6 (jeez, 6 already!) this summer. She loves school,
riding the bus, and being the ringleader of the various escapades the sisters (as she refers to her siblings)
embark upon.

Since I'm pretty lax on updating the page, I'll go ahead and say that by the time you read this, Sydney
will be 4 years old. She wants to be just like her big sister, and gets frustrated when she can't keep
up. She's still on Elmo's favorites list, since she's pretty good at making crumby messes under the table.

Kendal, the beastly baby. Bull head. She definitely knows what she wants and is generally pretty vocal in her
unhappiness when she doesn't get it. Actually, she's quite pleasant most of the time as long as nobody says
the dirty two-letter word in her presence. ("no")

OK, so it's not exactly a cast member, but I didn't want to make a whole section just for the general
geekery that runs this website. I use a
Quickcam Pro 4000
which has a pretty decent picture for a USB camera. For the software, I use
Conquer Cam, which can be configured to upload a picture at
intervals, or by using motion detection, which results in a lot of uploads around here. It also automatically
creates the thumbnail images you see on the front page.
The gallery, voting, logging in, etc. are all custom scripts written by me. I couldn't begin to add up the
number of hours I've spent dorking around with them. (Apologies to my previous employers, but you should have
given me more work to do)
