I Can’t Stand Video

You know what grinds my gears? Dealing with videos on the Web.

I tried to do something that I thought was simple: I added a video section to the gallery. With the advent of sites like YouTube and Google Video, I thought that hosting my own videos for the world to see would be much easier. How wrong I was.

I was just about to begin a rant, but I just don’t have the energy right now. I know when I’ve been beaten. If you want to check out my 6-second video of my Xbox 360 sitting next to my monitor, be my guest. Be sure to use IE though. Firefox will tell you to install Quicktime to view the video: this is a lie. Do not believe it, or risk wasting an hour of your life uninstalling and reinstalling QT and rebooting your PC and seeing that it didn’t work and searching on the web only to find that the universal answer to this problem is “install Quicktime,” which is a lie but you fall for it again anyway and waste another hour of your life… I think you get my meaning.

Next time, I’ll just upload to YouTube and embed it here like I did last time.
