The first name you get is your author name.

What's that? You think the video is weak? Come on. I could have spent all afternoon playing around with Movie Maker, but then I'd have no time at all to write.

Well, fine then. I'm leaving you to enjoy the spider by yourself, muse. Some of us have real work to do today.
