Wow, this took way longer to make than I thought it was going to take. Then it ended up being super long (on the order of 14 mintues), but youtube only allows 10 minute videos now so I had to go in and rework it. So after it took 80 minutes to create and save the movie to disk the first time I later spent another 60 minutes saving it again. Lots of stuff ended up on the cutting room floor. A section where people would have been able to make fun of me as I attempted performance dance with the hula hoop. The end section has been greatly shortened, there used to be more going on with the guest stars, but that got cut back. I ended up speeding up a couple pieces just to get it under the 10 minutes. Was it worth it? Probably not. Could and should I have cut even more, probably. Let's see, what else. Right, how could I forget, I'm apparently a terrible actor / host. And did I mention how long it is? Seriously, if you watch this whole thing, give yourself a cookie. I will say if you're going to watch this (which since it is rather long I don't expect everyone will) head over to the actual youtube page for it and click the "watch in high quality" option, it looks a lot better in high quality.

James, the kids are always entertaining, but your little cutaways at the computer are fantastic. Oh, unless you didn't mean for them to be funny :)
