I would say something deep about the style in my glasses reflecting a time period and my personality during that time, but honestly every pair I got, I got because I thought it looked cool.

My mixing isn't quite perfect, and YouTube for some reasons flattens out the video a bit. But I think the track works. This took 5 days to make, a few hours each day.

it’s definitely after 11pm.

Nifty :-) I think that’s the only reason to get glasses - because you think they’re cool. That in itself reflects your personality :D

Can’t say I am a fan of the 2000 edition…

You and the rest of my mates.

I prefer to see them as “sevitzdotcom, a cut above the rest of you losers” :)

Be different I say.

The one that look like ski goggles definitely had to go.

YouTube flattens things out (and screws with the framerate and timing a little, as well) to save on bandwidth. If you want fidelity, host a QT file.

I am happy hosting my own QT file. However the problem is it starts playing immediately, which means on every page load the movie starts to play. I really just want it to start playing like the YouTube video, when a user clicks on it. Otherwise it is both a waste of bandwidth and annoying.

I haven’t figured out how to do this (well not without messy JavaScript). When I do, I’m more than happy to ditch YT.

Yep - Nuge’s right. The 2000 edition look like youve taken a mechano set and tried to create a pair of aviator biggles goggles with extra rivets for added “Coolness”.

5 DAYS????? 5 DAYS??????? A couple of hours each day???

I prefer my Chop Top 2.0’s.

But your new ones are cooler than all your previous ones. They’re the only ‘cool’ ones that don’t scream “LOOK AT ME, AREN’T I COOL IN MY OAKLEYS” in capital letters, just like that.

And the 2000 ones are all the lees cool because Peter Fonda wore them in that ‘Supernova’ tv series that was really shit.

My, what glasses you’ve had! See, someone’s gotta buy those funky frames at the optical store ;)

Aaaah Stu, if only you were a lady …

Although Interesting to know, I only had sex once when I had those glasses.
