Did you clear out your closets? Did you help a lady pick out garlic at the grocery store? Did you race a ghost through a bunch of chicken legs as Mario? Did you drink a beautifully smooth chocolate stout?
Aren't you jealous you didn't and I did?

Skeep Bop!
Marcy's new computer is a veritable paragon of technology, which allows us to do important and groundbreaking things such as this:
I'm back .. uh ... again
Seems that every post for the last few posts are me saying I'm sorry for not posting.
SORRY for a busy month: Wedding, honeymoon, burfday. In that order.
Stay tuned. MUCH more to come on all 3. It doesn't help that I got a Wii as well.

Dum, dum de dum ... dum dum de dum ...
That song sucks. Wait'll ya get a load of our music. He heh heh.

Droppin' some knowledge on YouTube
I get YouTube. I really do. I get its user-friendly methods, and the necessity to shrink video file sizes in order to post the millions of closeups from desktop Webcams of preteen pontificators.
It's a money-generating machine for Google, which bought it last year. And darn if it's not fun.
That's what makes me think that somewhere at the YouTube home office there is a room full of monkeys at typewriters trying to conjure a solution to the aspect ratio issue.
Of what do I speak? Well, we recently bought our wedding videographer - I say "bought" because we plunked the $700 the pro wanted into buying our very own Hitachi HD and DVD camcorder. It's pretty sweet - it has its own hard drive, which can keep something like 4-5 hours of video, but also can burn 30 minutes directly to a tiny DVD for immaediate viewing.
I tested the camera last week at work, and kept the letterbox aspect ratio. But when the video showed up on YouTube, Youtube automatically added the black bars at the top and bottom but, as you can see, still squished it a bit on the left and right sides.
I'm not complaining. It's an uber cool free service, and technology is only now outpacing it. The only question I have is: When will the monkeys launch V 2.0 to give us bigger picture capability?
