I finally managed to take a pretty boring video. Like it says there, I'm working on a way to get a less mathematically-distorted image onto an egg but my unfamiliarity with Inkscape is hampering me a bit. I might have a few minutes today to figure it out though.

That's awesome! Red drips down the side of the egg? I love it.

What method did you use for the fills?

Thanks. I used the regular hatching thing. I also made an egg version of the famous Voyager "welcome" image only with eggs instead of people (it seemed like a good idea at the time) and my 9 year old did a kind of Weebl guy with pants on, among other more "normal" eggs.

FYI for Mac users: For whatever reason, for me the video doesn't seem to work in Safari (5.0.2 on OS X 10.6.4), but plays fine from Firefox. Seems to be an issue with the JavaScript & plugin wrapper around the tech. used to embed the video in HTML. Anyhow, if it doesn't play for you from Safari, try a different browser. (The video frame just said "Loading" for me and I could tell that nothing was loading.)

And, nice video David. Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
Dan

The video didn't work for me on Vista in IE8, either, so I switched to FF as well, and it worked just fine.

Youtube and Vimeo links continue to work without issue.

I'm sorry to report that the movie doesn't work with my IE8. Frown I blame Bill Gates, he never did like me. Frown

Yeah, it's HTML5 served up by a WordPress plugin. I had a terrible time getting it to work and it may still not be. Or possibly some browsers don't accept the tags or whatever.
