See, but Dave, yours were because you had really long single lines. Decepticon's issue was the video embedding plugin gave him no choice to how wide the video was. So, I found an update for the plugin and set the max width to 450.

Back on topic....

These guys are at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, not too far away. Perhaps we give them a personal invite to a certain event we have coming up in the near future?

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!
