Embedding higher quality Youtube videos (”&fmt=18″)
I’ve hardly linked to or saved a Youtube video without adding “&fmt=18” for the last six months, but embedding higher quality videos was a mystery to me.
The trick turns out to be the addition of &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the end of the url part of the embed code.
Embedded below is footage from the last moments of the sixties.
October 29 2008 was apparently “The Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies”. WTF:

Freestyle Powerizer Stilts are tools used in some new “extreme sport”. Swebounce.com (related to one of the persons in the video) describes the phenomenon as follows:
“Powerisers are bouncy stilts that you strap yourself into. With some training you can run as fast as 20mph and jump 2 meters high. For many people it’s enough to just run around and bounce but there are many kind of tricks you can perform on powerisers. I would say that this is the extreme sport of the future.”

Poliisin työtä ohjaava sisäministeriö ylläpitää listaa internetsivustoista, joille tavallisella poliisilla ei ole pääsyä. Suosittu videopalvelu on mukana estolistalla, jota ministeriö perustelee tietoturvasyillä.

Reminds me of this weird animation. The tune is from some Brazilian pop song if I remember correctly.
