How to embed quicktime on a webpage

Monday, January 16th, 2006

For those who are curious, I found the info on basic quicktime video embedding after a bit of googling. I’ll repeat the key bits here as well.


<embed SRC="http://www.example.com/mymovie-poster.mpg"
HREF="http://www.example.com/mymovie.mpg"
WIDTH="380" HEIGHT="255" AUTOPLAY="TRUE"
CONTROLLER="FALSE" LOOP="FALSE"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
TARGET="myself" targetcache="true" cache="true" />

Where mymovie-poster.mpg is a one-frame video that you cut from the main movie using iMovie or QuickTime Pro or similar. More info on QuickTime embed at Apple’s site.

Enjoy.

Miz Kitty Singing Teenage Dominatrix

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

Miz Kitty Singing Teenage Dominatrix. The latest in a long line of flash-in-the-pan teen pop stars? Amazing what one can find when trolling thru randomly generated pages of videos at google… one wonders if this would receive traditional music-video airplay? Then again, I haven’t actually watched Much or MTV in aeons myself…

OK, seems that they are explicitly poking fun at the manufactured girl pop star, check the lyrics and this description from an advert for a live performance I found after a bit of googling. From April of 2003. Gee, I feel soo johnny-come-lately.

All Hell breaks loose when an evil entertainment conglomerate performs an experiment to transform an innocent talent contestant into the perfect teen pop queen. When the experiment goes awry, “Miz Kitty, Singing Teenage Dominatrix” is born. Upset by her new incarnation as feline cyber sexpot, Miz Kitty takes revenge on her capitalist creators by seizing their company, and transforming it into her own deviant media empire: Kittyporn Enterprises.

The music video can be found at google video

Google Video Time Wasters

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

Google video can suck up so much of your time just poking around looking at random stuff. Such as this race between a station wagon and a camero. Or the ever popular underground Subgenius screw-with-your-head stuff.
