I set up a YouTube account this weekend. It occurred to me that we have all these photos of Aiden up on our web site, but have no way to post the movies that we take with our Canon S3 IS. Sure, we could put a link on our site to the movie file, but wouldn’t it be cool if we could stream the movies on the site itself? Enter...

Netflix is the best gift that one can give to someone who loves anime. I’ve been ordering sets of anime, some good ones and some bad ones. One of my new favorites is Gunslinger Girl. By way of explanation, I thought I’d try to embed some YouTube clips to my blog, since I’ve never done that before. That is the...
