Higher quality YouTube videos

I just found this the other day. You can add "&fmt=18" to the end of the URL to get the high quality version. Here's one to try:

Shelby and bubbles

This video isn't the best quality to begin with, but it's better than the one without the "&fmt=18". I just wanted to show off my dog.

New website coming soon

As you might have noticed, this site has had a major overhaul. I haven't been happy with my site for a while, and figured that the long holidy weekend was the perfect time to update it. I'm trying to make this site a little more dynamic, and I think it's off to a good start.

One thing I wanted to do was tie my Twitter feed into the main page. Now my latest entry will appear under Random Thought on the right side of this page. I'm also working on integrating a comment system, but that might take a few more days.

My old site can still be accessed by following the link on the right side. Hopefully I'll have this bad boy up and running 100% in the next couple days.

Until then, peace out.
