PNG vs JPG
PNG is a newer image format combining the best of GIF (loss-less compression) and JPEG (millions of colors).  Strange but true, a PNG-24 file is smaller than the smallest equivalent JPEG, but looks better than the largest JPEG. Check the numbers.

Palynology

The fascinating study of pollen - the immature male gametophyte of plants. Made of the most acid-resistant organic molecule - sporopollenin - pollen grains are useful in everything from archeology, criminology, geology, botany, apiology, paleoclimatology, the immune processes behind allergies, and more! These pollen micrographs and drawing were made with pollen form the world's premier pollen herbarium in Stockholm Sweden.

Video

What! You mean it takes 3.6 MB for just over a minute of low quality video?!?  This has got to be one of my prime motivators for running my own site vs getting space on a free site.  See my guide to free servers if you need only 10 to100 MB of space for the price of an email address (also free).

How I did this

It's easy to do with a Macintosh,  but hard to keep the kids off.  With an old 90mhz Pentium and Linux I've got a  dedicated server with lots of cheap disk space.
