Aqua Teen Hungerforce & Video in Atlas

It's been a surreal day and a half here in Boston. Yesterday the whole city shut down because of a bomb scare that turned out to be guerilla marketing for the Aqua Teen Hungerforce (ATHF) tv show -- the suspicious objects were neon ATHF lights.

Boston.com has more on the absurdity here (including this Atlas map of all the "bomb" locations).

The artists who created the ATHF lights recorded the process on video, so this is a good opportunity to point out that it's very easy to add video to Atlas maps. You just add the video's embed code to your infowindow, then change the infowindow dimensions to fit your video (this option is listed under "Edit Map Properties").

Here's an example with the video of the lights going up. I can't embed the map into this page because I had to make it wider than the Blogger template in order to fit the video.
