I majored in video. No, really. So I’m picky about video quality online. YouTube is all well and good, but it’s still like four inches across, and so compressed it’s like watching the neighbor’s tv through their living room blinds, and you have raw eggwhite dripping in your eyes.

I wanted to post videos here on zoomy.net that were hosted on someone else’s hard drives, that didn’t come encrusted with extra interface, that didn’t require installing fancy plugins or obnoxious P2P servers, and that were the highest possible quality to minimize compromizationalizement of my pure artistic visionalism. As of this post, you can’t get there from here all at once, but with Stage6, Vimeo, and a bit of JavaScript switchery I have a workable solution.
