For those who, like me, didn't know about AutoTune and Meme...

I thought this was very informative. Thanks Professor Wierd Al!

Pieces of Things: How to Embed YouTube Videos

Here's the code you should be copying into your post, in order to embed videos that play when clicked. Find this on the right-hand column of the YouTube video page. [note that after you copy the embeding link, you should click on the "Edit Html" tab at the upper right corner of the editing window before pasting].

To make your video fit better, change all of the widths in the embed code to 475 530 525, which is the width of the posts in this blog. There will probably be at least two instances of the "width" variable in the code. Change them all. NOTE: This works with nearly all embedable video players! Try it, you slobs!

Update: To get the movie to fit as best as possible, you'll need to change the height, too. Try a proportion calculator. Enter the embed tag's current dimensions for the original size, and enter 525 for the target (reproduction) width. Press "Calculate" and replace the current dimensions with the target dimensions in the embed tag (in both places).

last post of the day, I swear.

I finally got my toys and camera out.

Blogging technobabble

A useful flash dingy from Wired to show you where your blogging leads to. I especially like the idea that Text Scrapers and "Meme Trackers" are searching PoT for useful information. 

Pony, I think it's time we set up our "thing".
