On a bed of Quinoa

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Much like the form Thermodynamics post, this video is good one to watch and try to figure out what it is before the camera zooms out:

If you listen carefully you can hear the sweetie say something about "sleeping a bed of quinoa" near the end.

If you're still wondering what the video is of, here's the answer.

Thermodynamics (video)

I need to do a better job of not being mr-jerky-cam, but my gaffers were on strike that day, so I had to do it all myself.

How to embed Vimeo Videos: The hard way

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

I've been chatting with my friend about how to embed Vimeo videos on his site. He was trying to figure a way to do html5 and flash and auto-detect if you're a desktop browser or a mobile browser (or an iPad). By using JavaScript he could show the user the right video. I've accepted this challenge and I introduce: Plip's Vimeo JavaScript Embedder v.01. One thing I didn't do was scour the Vimeo forums to see if this had been done. What I did set out to do was:

  • Learn Vimeo Simple API
  • Write code some one had requested
  • Have a programming goal that I could prove could be done in just one night

Arguably, I may not have achieved the last item as I actually haven't tested it on a mobile device yet (yeah, I'm a lazy, lazy man), but I'm pretty sure it'll work on a WebKit device.

It should be noted, I don't think I'm a very good JavaScript coder and this is version .01. Even so, should I add a "JavaScript" category?!

Vimeo Does AVHCD Light Test

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Hey there! A friend asked if Vimeo, who were then thinking of going with for plip.com videos, supported our camera's AVHCD Light format. I'm happy to report, it does! Here's to quick test clips I shot. Noteworthy is that Vimeo Plus, though a bit pricey, has excellent privacy settings which was a huge selling point to me.
