Usually, I’m the only one in my house who likes to have coffee every morning. My wife says she enjoys coffee, but she actually prefers weak “coffee-flavored tea” (as she calls it) with copious amounts of cream and sugar, and more often than not, prefers instant coffee or Roma to real, brewed coffee. I prefered…

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.
Django
I’ve been trying to decide how to best go about building a site for a personal project I’ve been working on for a while. I’ve tried building it with a wiki back-end — and used DokuWiki, which is the least annoying wiki software I’ve had the pleasure of using. However, I’ve come to the conclusion…
Motion Tracking for Screen Replacement
This new video is a great introduction to tracking screen replacements. Imagineer Systems makes Mocha, a planar tracker that will allow you to get excellent tracks of a flat (or flat-ish) surface, often without tracking markers.

Pretty frustrating, because it otherwise works fine. It used to be that you could just download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 straight from Apple,…

Thanks to this comment on Mac OS X Hints for the updated information. Boot…
Alcoholic Drinks Banned from Apple Messages!
Ahh… I’ve always wanted to write one of those link-bait post titles. Now at least I have a fun excuse. I noticed today that in the “Smiley menu” in the Messages compose window, that the alcoholic beverages have been edited out. Normally, in the Objects section of the emoji menu, the order goes Baby Bottle,…
