Since the launch of my new podcast, I’ve been trying to keep track of stats on podcast downloads and subscribers. FeedPress has been my feed tracker of choice recently, and seems to work very smoothly (even if they only update stats once a day). I’m also a big fan of Panic’s Status Board iPad app…

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.
The Optical
I find it hard to believe than anyone who follows me here doesn’t also follow me on Twitter or Facebook or somesuch, so you’ve probably already heard way too much about this, but just in case… I’ve been blogging at a Tumblr site called The Optical for the last three months or so, posting cool…

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. A lite version, Mocha AE comes bundled with After Effects. Obviously, this isn’t a complete solution for iOS developers…
Mac Pro 8-Core video workstation with AJA Kona, nVIDIA Quadro 4000 and other upgrades
If you produce or edit video, you might like to know that I’m selling my Mac Pro system. It’s a little overkill for what I need at home right now, so if you need a powerful video system, read on. If you’re in Seattle, see the Craigslist ad. Package Includes: Mac Pro “Eight Core” 2.8…
