YouTube recently launched its embedded player program with adsense. Seems like an interesting enough concept. The ads don’t seem to intrusive like with other video services and you can even customize the color scheme of the player. You can set a few keywords to help YouTube select the type of video for you or you can select a predefined industry or provider. It was easier to setup the video player than an adsense banner for those of you that have gone through the process, you know what I mean. The code is generated automatically for you and its just a simple act of copy and pasting. What you end up with is what you see below. The one caveat is that you don’t directly control the content, you can only guide it and as we all know there is some offensive video that would be worse than some of the text ads you might see.

Ok so I'm not some restaurateur, I'm just an average guy who likes his gadgets for what they do to make life better and otherwise bring a smile when opening a box for the first time. This blog is simply the recording of many of my adventures/mishaps with gadgets and my foray into the blogosphere with an occasional side of something special. I do a bit of web design and most recently my focus has been on Wordpress customization. You'll probably hear a lot regarding Apple products or products for my mac. I'm a recent convert after being in the Windows universe for many years. My first computer was vic20, upgraded to the 64 and then I purchased my first desktop (Yeah, I remember having to make that boot disk to make certain things run right). I was convinced to try out a mac last year and the new macbook pros with their Intel chips left me with no reason not to. I have ben ecstatic ever since (I don't think I qualify just yet as fanboy status but I'm getting their). Yeah, I drank the Kool-Ade and am waiting for a refill ;)
