"within a skull a universe"

Marc's Weekly Debris


This is my weekly outlet for anything creative I've done in the past week... Enjoy if you can!

  • I couldn't find a decent wall map of Washington DC, so I wrote a script to grab tiles (and labels) from Google Maps and patched it together (using ImageMagick). Here are the maps for Washington DC and Baltimore (which I then printed out on a high-res poster printer).
  • A clip of my robotic arm, complete with victory dance.
  • A plot of my GPS position over the past 10 days.
  • Who influenced JS Bach? (Did it all begin with Josquin des Prez?)
  • Timelapses: Ants Don't Like Artificial Sweetener, A Lily Blooming (it may be a cliche, but this is my 1st bloom timelapse), and My Growing Lizard.
  • (I took 2 pictures of Toronto from the same spot, 1 at day and 1 at night, then blended them.)
  • My memex on the meaning of life.
  • A timelapse of the Amadu Painting Party.
  • Time management tools: A short script I wrote to keep track of how I'm spending my time on Lappy (it only works for Apple's OS X). It takes a (reduced size) snapshot every minute. You can see a timelapse of one of my days here (I recommend watching it in full-screen mode). I also wrote a simple text-based stop watch.
  • My reading queue and books I've read, complete with ratings. Some of the books have been on my queue for a long time. The ratings are on a scale from 0 to 10 (where I consider the the books to be distributed on a "squashed" bell curve, so a perfect 10 is theoretically impossible, though a 9.99999 isn't). The reason most of these books are a 6 or above is Darwinian: I probably wouldn't finish a book if it's below that.
  • A short clip from hang gliding lessons. Also, other clips are here.
  • Marc's Amazing Maze Making Program.
  • Intro to "Streszczenie!", the new Polish softball sitcom.
  • Sammy Vasa pictures.
  • Europe Debris (my book).
  • The Marcitlan Globe.
  • My September Southern Safari. (Also in my Kansas Drive Timelapse a boring 9 hour drive across Kansas is compressed into a (still boring) 4 minutes.)
  • The Marcitlan Pyramid.
  • Kite photos from North Carolina's Outer Banks.
  • Some puzzles I've made up.
  • A place for time... lapses
  • Life Calendar: Your entire life on a single page. I also made a poster sized version.
  • A Couple of Silly Limericks (Is there such thing as a serious limerick?)
  • (A Marc O Lantern)
  • Timelapses of drawing stuff!
  • Fun with spectrograms!
  • My much trimmed web photo album
  • An Ax in My Ox
  • The Epic of The Weeds
