Embedded Video and Firefox

Ok, I have figured out how to embed videos into my blog. I used Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX 2004 program. I have it set to autostart="false". It is not suppose to play automatically when the page loads. However it does auto play when you go to my website in Firefox. But it does not auto play when you to go to my website in IE. Have I messed something in the code? Is there a way to make it not auto play in firefox? Please help me?

Daimler's SMART coming to the U.S.

ZAP, a niche motor vehicle company which made its mark building electric cars (hence its name -- Zero Air Pollution), announced this week that it had received final approval from the US Department of Transportation to start selling an Americanized version of the SMART "FourTwo" micro-coupe ("Americanized" means adding structural supports to meet safety standards and confirming that the emissions meet EPA regulations). Update: Watch the test crash video. (only in IE) [via engadget.com]

Audioblog.com is great

I had a 7 day free trial of Audioblog.com. It has expired now. I am not going to renew my account. I however did like the service alot. It was very easy to use. I like the videoblogging feature the most. But that is in beta and probably is going to cost extra in the future. I have the videos that I put on my website but they are in the flash video format. I don't know how to setup a player on my website for them to play. I have full versions of Macromedia's flash MX 2004 and Dreamweaver MX 2004. But they are not very easy to understand. Today I had the honor of being a Pallbearer for a friends wife's funeral. It went very well.
Update: I will use OurMedia.org to store the videos.

Sony PSP is cool

I got to play with a Sony PSP tonight. I went into Game Stop and asked if they had one and they did. Some guy had to trade it in becuase he got a $180 speeding ticket. The PSP is so small. The screen really is the killer on this little device. I only got to play the Tony Hawk game, but it is was cool. I think this might be under the tree this Christmas. That or a Tablet PC.
