Videos are notoriously painful to develop. But hey, if someone can and
wants to, go for it. I don't even know where to begin in designing
flash, to say nothing of the creative energies needed.

We need the return of Klingon comic strips. I firmly believe that with
the possible exception of "Bereaved Parents' Monthly," there isn't a
magazine out there that couldn't be improved by the addition of a comic
page at the end (unless it already has one, that is). If we could make
it a *regular* feature of HolQeD, that would be... nice.
