Homestar Runner on your iPod
The brothers Chapman, the creative siblings behind Homestar Runner, have
entered the crazy world of podcasting... kinda.They have made available for download a few classic episodes of Strongbad email for download in iPod friendly video format. As we all know, though, in order to be considered a 'podcast' there must be a RSS feed with enclosures, however, technicalities aside this is some funny stuff.
Everybody to the limit!

Too bad the iPod can't play Flash movies--it'd save lots of bandwidth. This week's episode ( http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail143.swf ) is only 880k. QuickTime can play some Flash content but not all. I'm sure Macromedia/Adobe would be happy to help write a player.

If the iPod could play Flash video, and it would scale up on your TV without pixelation, that would be legit.

Would it have killed them to write up some ID3 tags? Took me all of 10 seconds. The Brothers Chap must REALLY be busy!
