Popup Video On Page Load

First let me say, there are probably a million ways to do this, and probably 99% of them are the right way, including my way.

Site: WordPress. The need: Pop up a video using Lighbox for a registered user. Record the video was shown to the user. Record in usermeta table. Don't show it again on subsequent visits. And lastly, make sure the video only plays on the Home page.

	<?php
	global $current_user;
	get_currentuserinfo();
	$key = "viewed_video";
	$user_id = $current_user->ID;
	$has_viewed_video = get_user_meta($user_id, $key, true);
	if (strlen($has_viewed_video) == 0 && is_home()) { ?>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/shadowbox/shadowbox.css">
	<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/shadowbox/shadowbox.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	Shadowbox.init({
	// let's skip the automatic setup because we don't have any
	// properly configured link elements on the page
	skipSetup: true
	});
	window.onload = function() {
	// open a welcome message as soon as the window loads
	Shadowbox.open({
	content: 'http://mysite.org/videos/intro.mp4',
	player: "flv",
	title: "",
	height: 500,
	width: 500
	});
	};
	</script>
	<?php
	update_user_meta($user_id, $key, "1", "");
	} ?>

Works like a charm. The video pops up in a Lightbox window. Meets our needs.
