free screencast making on osx (I'm not in the mood to play with this right now, what with sitting at a café across a table from Nick.) Couple this with Mouseposé to show the keystrokes and the mouse clicks; add in audio afterwards with other tools (flash 8 editor) and pow!

Not that I'm likely to have $100 to throw away like that any time soon.

I've been drawing a lot of plastic spider girls lately. I've been kinda alien and spidery, I guess.

Also some experimentation leads me to suspect that my machine ain't fast enough to do a screengrab movie of me working. If I had a VCR handy I'd fool around with that...
