Great tilt-shift video that makes monster trucks look like matchbox cars.

High quality YouTube video hack

I’ve known about the ability to watch high quality YouTube videos for a while now and even have my account preference set to it. But I didn’t know of a way to actually embed the high quality version of a video, until now. Kottke has a post explaining how to embed a high quality YouTube video into your site.

13 Ghosts II

A strong line of thunderstorms moved through the area today which consisted of some impressive cloud formations. What really struck me was the rate at which the clouds were traveling. So a whipped out my point and shoot and captured some footage.

With the release of the Ghosts I-IV album a few months ago, Nine Inch Nails has been holding a film festival on YouTube. The idea being to take the tracks from Ghosts and apply imagery you feel fits the tracks best. And since the album was released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license, this is a legit use of the music.

I thought my cloud footage fit nicely with one of the Ghosts tracks, so this is my submission.

I’ve always been a fan of the Food Network show Good Eats with Alton Brown. I like the simple and straight forward approach to explaining how the cooking world works. And recently, I’ve become a big Tea fan. Here’s two great videos of a good eats episode where he explains the nuances of tea.
