So, my friend AAl gave me an iTunes Music Store (iTMS) gift certificate for [insert winter holiday here]. Only, I got it the week before Thanksgiving, because apparently there was no mechanism for him to delay the sending of my gift certificate email. Strike one for Apple.

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.

Just testing to see whether Smarty Pants will translate the “ae” in their name to the “æ” ligature glyph. [Update: It doesn’t.] In any case, the Mediæval Bæbes are definitely worth a listen. I’m looking forward to getting their holiday album, Mistletoe & Wine.
