LOTS OF BUG FIXES

I've been nerding out this evening correcting a bunch of broken links on this site. Apparently, I had (and maybe still have?) a bunch of embeded youtube videos using some sort of Flash-based code. Since Flash support went away a long time ago, I have to go through and clean it all up.
Having embedded code at all is kind of a weird thing. Who knows if some competitor will come in and swallow youtube up, breaking all the links on this site? How annoying would that be?
I could personally host all of my own videos, I suppose. But I certainly couldn't host videos that don't belong to me, so I don't know what I'd do in that situation, other than just have to go through and clean up my code again.
It's kind of annoying.
