I tried, for the better part of the afternoon, to install a Rocketfish USB 3.0 PCI Express Card RF-P2USB3 in my Mac Pro (“Early 2008” MacPro3,1 running 10.8.3), and it looks like I’ve finally succeeded. I’m trying to do this because, for whatever reason, the USB3 cards that are available for the Mac are easily…

Mark is easily distracted and seems not to require sleep. However, this is an illusion. He is mortal, like you. Perhaps doubly so. He makes videos and a little bit of art and design. He also watches way too many movies and jokes around on Twitter.
Video and You
Several people have encouraged me recently, since I have feet in both the video production and Mac & iOS development camps, to blog about video production for developers. On September 26, 2009, I gave a Blitz Talk at the C4[3] developer conference entitled Video and You, intended to give developers some quick guidelines and tips…
Apple Macintosh 20th Anniversary Posters
I’m not sure exactly how I came into having these poster images, but reading on DigiBarn, it looks like they may have been designed by Marcin Wichary (perhaps this gentleman?) to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Macintosh. You can download the entire set of 14 posters as PDFs, suitable for printing up poster-sized.
New Digs
If you’re seeing this, it means you’re seeing my new, migrated site. I realized that I wasn’t really using any of the extra features that Squarespace was affording me, and while they have given me great service (and I love their stats package), it was time to minimize my outlay to my various service providers….
Roger Ebert dead at 70

Film-watching Plans
I’m not announcing any plans, as such (trying to learn from my past mistakes of announcing good intentions, and almost uniformly failing them), but I’m working out a plan to be more serious about my movie watching this year. I’ve got movies that have probably been in the Netflix queue for a decade, and I’d…
NAB 2005
Found this languishing in my drafts folder. Interesting look back, at least for those who lived it. I definitely need to do a drink/gambling Sin Log the next time I’m in Vegas. Here it is, unedited: Day 1: In the morning, we talked to a number of folks from Apple about their new products and…
