I really like this guys videos.  It looks like he relies heavily on after effects, and makes the effects the central part of the video.  Kind of a throwback to the 80′s but with more modern computer generated effects.  My only real criticism is on both artists and their heavy reliance on auto tune.  But then again, aside from Nelly Furtdado, I can’t think of too many artists who don’t use auto-tune.

HR Tag Height doesn’t render consistently

CSS can be so frustrating sometimes! Took me forever to hunt down some hidden spacing in my divs, was a result of IE overriding my specified <hr /> height.  Once i figured out IE and my <hr /> tag was the culprit a quick google search gave me a couple solutions.

IE doesn’t seem to allow <hr /> elements to be sized smaller than the font size. Nothing I tried worked,  so now i just use a bottom or top border of 1px on my divs. This was suggested to have the most cross browser consistency. I’ve sworn them (hr tags) off altogether.

Totally off-topic, but this commercial cracks me up. I laugh _every_ time i see it.

Panasonic SD Card Formatter

Apparently Windows doesn’t format SD cards to spec, which may cause problems with some MP3 Players or Cameras. Panasonic published their own formatting program.
