This is Only a Test

Please pardon this little experiment as we slowly doggy-paddle towards full 1080 HD video. I hear it's great, and all the cool kids are using it, so I figured what the hell. By the way, this is the Pacific Ocean, where it crashes into the ruins of the mysterious Sutro Baths. We think it may have been a sacred site for some long forgotten race of wealthy San Franciscans, but no one really knows for sure. Enjoy, and remember, this is only a test.

Looks pretty good, but I think about 3/4 cup of afternoon sun would be a good fit.

As a web developer (Not a designer, yes we are different!) you're going to alienate some people. Not everyone has a fast connection or the means of viewing high quality video. I would strongly recommend also providing an alternative lower quality video. Which, YouTube will allow you to adjust the video quality. So, go ahead. ;) LOL

Works well for me. Looks great full-screen.

I have trouble with high def due to my cheap slow internet connection, but that one worked fine. And yes, I often have to drop the quality to avoid pauses.

I have a cable modem on a 2 year old laptop with a decent video card and this ran flawlessly with very good quality. I do agree with TBG above on alienating some people, but progress is a good thing. :-)

I wanted to give you some feedback Chef John.

Takes me back, I do miss San Fran. Been around the world and I still think it's the best city Earth has to offer.

Jeepers! I sure miss San Francisco and the ocean.

Can't wait for the 1080P high def goodness to get my saliva flowing!

Love it! I'm coming to Northern Cali in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see it for myself.

The finest Chef in HiDef!

Apparently Land's End has been a recreation destination since the days of the Ohlone, according to a tour I took with the SF Obscura society.
