Anne,
Thanks for this advice. Hopefully I didn't rush through too fast, but it is
a narrated video so there's not any reading people have to do besides the
words you see in the application. Though I guess this also introduces
potential issues in speaking too fast and making it hard for non-native
english speakers to understand you.
Anyways, I went ahead and posted the video on my own YouTube site:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PDTnkLI0Ok
Let me know if you'd like it uploaded anywhere else in particular. I'll
hold off on writing a Planet entry or anything until I hear that some of you
have seen it and confirmed that I don't say anything blatantly inaccurate in
it. Though I spent a lot of time fighting with minor editing things so I
can't guarantee I'll have the motivation to go back and fix stuff if it's
only suggestions on minor things ;-)
Justin

</div>Justin, just observations which I hope you will find helpful. If you do \
these<br> as silent recordings they need to be done very much slower than most people \
do<br> them. If there is a sound commentary that isn't as important, but even \

I'm looking forward to seeing this on userbase - I think it has a lot of<br>
possible application and wide appeal. I'd group it with Hans Chen's work \
on<br> looping animated gifs. Together they'd make a very nice tutorial \
group.<br> <br>
