I know there are videoheads here who'd get a kick out of this, so in 
case anyone is NOT subscribed to dorkbot, here ya go!

I've heard many reports that the fractals-without-a-computer video isn't
working.

It looks like certain videos across YouTube are having problems.

Here is a workaround:

Go to this:  (there is a url appendix "&fmt=18" that denotes the high
quality version (which doesn't exist))

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj9pbs-jjis&fmt=18

THEN click on the "watch in normal quality"link at the bottom right
corner of the video.  It should run now.
This appears to work in both Firefox 3 and Safari.

Bad YouTube.

Here are some other projects I've done recently that you all might
like.  They load normally, I promise!
