I'm just a guy from Canada, living in the Bay Area and trying to be a pretty okay human being. I like computers and old video games.

Sometimes I write things here: https://writing.markchristian.org

I have built some things over the years. Some of them were pretty okay at the time.

What a tremendous loss for our industry. Stewart's genuine curiosity was infectious.

Super cool! I’ve always wanted to make my own lil language and I’ve always been too intimidated to try.

Oh man, let's be friends! Hit me up if you wanna nerd out about LaserDiscs — [email protected]. I have a pretty decent collection (https://markchristian.org/files/laserdiscs.txt — around 200 or so, no specific theme other than "movies I would like to have a copy of").

Have you got a setup going for digitizing these things? I've got a pitch reel on LaserDisc for a 1991 interactive TV startup that I'd love to preserve before it bitrots.

I love your stuff! As a FastMail user I have to read it in my alternative browser lest I destroy my autocomplete, though. :D

Anyhow; thanks for everything you make! I hope your face is feeling better these days.

Hilariously, I had no idea that this was his site. TIL!
