XHTML Valid YouTube Embedding
If you have ever tried to embed a YouTube video and then tried to validate the HTML of your page, you know that youtube will break your validation. I recently discovered the solution. Apparently YouTube videos are also supposed to be viewed 320×267, I think I actually like the smaller size. I bolded the important parts.
Original:
<object width=”425” height=”344“><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&hl=en“></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
Valid:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&” width=”320” height=”267“><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&” /><param name=”FlashVars” value=”playerMode=embedded” /><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” /></object>

Tagged Social NetworkingThe Hood Internet Torrents
One of my friends told me about this awesome band called The Hood Internet. I listened to some of their songs and loved them. Since they release their songs for free, I decided that they needed some torrents. I contacted the band, and they expressed interest, so last night I made the torrents, and now they are on thepiratebay.org. I have started seeding them on my slow home internet connection, but hopefully tonight I will get them seeding on several more connections.
I hope that this makes downloading their awesome music easier for everyone. If anyone wants, I can also put up torrents for all of the singles on their site.
You can download the torrents from my site:
- The Hood Internet - Mixtape Volume One
- The Hood Internet - Mixtape Volume Two
- The Hood Internet - The Hood Internet vs The Pack
Or you can download them from TPB:
- The Hood Internet - Mixtape Volume One
- The Hood Internet - Mixtape Volume Two
- The Hood Internet - The Hood Internet vs The Pack
Solar Tsunami
So I just read/watched the link on the recent solar tsunami and that is some really crazy stuff. According to my envelope calculation, the article says that the tsunami covered 1000000km in half an hour.
I am having ridiculous trouble converting km/hr to ft/sec. According to google calculator, it would be 1822688.83ft/sec. That sounds much more reasonable. My original number of 23622047244000ft/sec was a bit off. (Thanks Thomas) 
That tsunami was traveling pretty darn fast. So, I believe that would be pronounced 1 million 822 thousand 688.83 feet per second. Compared to the fastest tsunami on earth that moves about 911ft/sec I would say that things are a bit faster on the sun.
Avocado Tree(s)
I decided to plant a some avocado trees today. While eating dinner, I was inspired to attempt to grow the discarded avocado pits. I planted the avocados with the help of wikihow and now hopefully In several weeks I will have real avocado trees. Then maybe in a few years I can have some fresh avocados. . .
I also decided to make a time lapse video of the avacado trees growing. I set up my camera on a tripod and every day I am going to take several pictures of the plants. Hopefully I will be able to eventually compile the pictures into a really cool video.
