The fundraiser had to be done under a lot of time pressure, with
scheduled interviews & relocation stress, and of course a ridiculously
understaffed office. Cut the folks some slack - they're all doing the
best they can, and they're here to help & serve _you_, so you'll still
have a site to come back to tomorrow. :-)

The marquee was a bad idea & quickly removed as such. The whole thing
is still butt-ugly & everyone knows it. Help make it prettier:

It's a wiki after all. :-) I made a quick mock-up of a new video
landing page yesterday, hopefully that or some other variant will go
live today.
