Cortados on the Beach with CoffeeGeek Mark Prince
Mark Prince, founder of CoffeeGeek.com, made cortados for my wife and I at a beach in Victoria, BC using portable espresso equipment.

Making a Model
This has been linked quite a bit in the past week, but I want to add my own extra bit. Go watch this short (<1 minute) video that demonstrates a beautiful but normal woman at a photo shoot being made up (in real life and in Photoshop) for a billboard ad. Then, go check out ...

My Inner 7th Grader
My inner 7th grader read this Seattlest post and let out a big obnoxious laugh (you have to follow the link on that page). Sometimes that inner 7th grader just needs to get out.

Make Money from Your Videos
Scott Kirsner at CinemaTech has been compiling a list of Web sites that enable video producers to get paid for their work. Some of these will be familiar to you (Revver, Atom Entertainment), others less so (I hadn’t previously heard of Panjea). Some are geared to short-form content, and others will support selling a full-length ...

The MacBook Camcorder
Sure, your MacBook or MacBook Pro has a built-in iSight, but who wants to look at themselves all the time? Using this little clever add-on, you can capture video of what’s on the other side of your laptop’s lid. Good for on-the-fly video interviews, I’d wager. (Link via Gizmodo.) Here’s an idea straight out of ...

Distraction
This cartoon neatly summarizes what my life has been like the last couple of weeks with lots of article deadlines (via BoingBoing, via Cyrus).

Are You Somebody?
Long essay by Tara Ison about dating an unnamed relatively famous actor in LA: “Are you Somebody?” Very much worth the read. His is an awkward level of fame. A mid-level, ambiguous, tenuous degree of famousness, dependent on whether or not you’ve seen his recurring guest spot on a hit network legal drama, the late-night ...

Back up Photos on the Road
Traveling for the holidays? Or just travel in general? Digital cameras let you shoot lots of pictures, but where will you store them? Glenn Fleishman and I co-wrote an article for Macworld about how to deal with an abundance of digital photos, with an eye toward traveling without a laptop in tow. It’s now available ...

Aperture Libraries in iLife Apps
I’m writing up this week’s TidBITS coverage on Aperture 1.5, and thought I’d check out how iMovie HD is interacting with the pro photo app. As I expected, your Aperture library and vault shows up in the Media pane, just like iPhoto. I haven’t had a chance to do much more with it, but thought ...

Starbucks Obsessive
Look, people often joke about my business name, Never Enough Coffee Creations, but even I have limits when it comes to consuming coffee (well, depending on the project deadline). But 29 espressos in one day? I’d be a quivering mass of jittery vomit. Here’s a guy who’s decided that he needs to visit every Starbucks ...
