Alright – I COULD blog about Barack Obama’s historic campaign victory, and continue on about how this is a milestone for America. I COULD tell you how excited I am at the prospect of having someone in the White House that I don’t absolutely loathe, and how I’m SO ready for someone to give me an excuse to be proud of the leadership in this country. I could go on and on about that for pages and pages, but there’s no shortage already of commentary on the subject, and I’ve already done my fair share of rambling in the last couple weeks about all that red, white, and blue stuff.
So instead, I’ll offer up this much-less-exciting blog post about how our video tutorials are now all available at www.vimeo.com/totallyrad, in addition to the www.gettotallyrad.com site. They’re also available at www.youtube.com/dougboutwell. Why is this newsworthy? Because some people have had issues watching the videos directly on the site, and the YouTube versions, previously the only alternative available, quite frankly looked like shit. Vimeo is great because of the high quality it allows for its content. You can upload videos up to 1280×720 (that’s right, full 720p HD), and it doesn’t appear to transcode the heck out of it until all that’s left is a pixelated mess. The new TRA videos are all 640×360 (1/4 720p res), but they look oh-so-much-better on Vimeo.
So there you are! Not exciting at all, compared to electing a young black guy to the highest office in the land, but that’s all I got for ya today. Just about everything over the next few years is going to look like a letdown compared to last night, so get used to it :)

Right on, Doug! I totally (Rad Actions) agree with you. Could anything be more of a TRA than Obama getting elected? I think not! Congratulations to him and I’m sure I will enjoy the Vimeo videos…keep up the great work!
