• Brian Calhoun (Lions)
• Laurence Maroney (Patriots)
• Jerious Norwood (Falcons)
• LenDale White (Titans)

I’ll be keeping an eye on these guys throughout the pre-season.

With the NFL Draft coming up, I’m wondering where these guys will land:

• Brian Calhoun (Wisconsin)
• Laurence Maroney (Minnesota)
• Jerious Norwood (Mississippi State)
• LenDale White (USC)

Obviously LenDale is pretty well known because he’s coming out of USC. These guys have a lot of promise and shouldn’t be overlooked in fantasy keeper leagues (heck, even yearly leagues should probably take a look).

With the new patch from Microsoft for IE embedding video in web pages is going to be different. Granted, I’ve been doing the "right thing" with mFactory for a long time now, but I haven’t taken the time to implement it elsewhere. But now I, and others, have had our hand forced. So, here’s an implementation using vPIP and yesterday’s test video.

Bonus: video plays inline.

Okay, so Jay Dedman and I were discussing how to implement a video commenting tool/system earlier this week. Although it leaves a lot to be desired, this is my first attempt at implementing it. It leverages some of the Aweli system, but I’m sure that’s to be expected.

Here it is.
