how to embed .flv in html

I found a great free video that explains how to use Flash app to publish and embed videos (in the .flv format). Check it out at http://www.layersmagazine.com/flash-video-the-easy-way.html

max/msp 16 step sequencer sync'ed to external source

I have modded a max patch I found of a 16 step sequencer to accept variable pitch and tempo sync. I wound up having to use sync~ in conjunction with counter (instead of tempo as was previously being used in the patch). So far so good, although I may wind up having to implement some more math because currently I have to put host tempo closer to 400bpm in order to achieve 95bpm-like results. I have discovered a fondness for impulse because it has some features I like: chiefly its master time and pitch controls as well as its saturate feature. Also new in are several free plug ins from http://www.kammerl.de/audio/ (beware strange artwork) which seem to sound great.
