    That is incredibly cool. I’d love to see something similar for mortgage foreclosures.

    That is incredibly cool! The Yale site is not working for me, but I’d love to play around with different variables. (home foreclosures?)

    It doesn’t play directly in your browser as best I can tell (I use Firefox).

    Rather it wants to launch an avi file in a video player app.

    Note that the code is ‘cvid’. C here:

    Heh.

    If you haven’t already you should discover ‘vlc’ which has played pretty much everything I’ve thrown at it. It’s minimal at the presentation layer, but programmers like it a lot:

    And it’s free.
