Arcade Fire and HTML5

OK, so I have just discovered the band Arcade Fire, and I'm in love. One of their sweet songs is called 'We Used To Wait'. It is sweet. And now Google has made the song into a very cool HTML5 experience (when played in Chrome, of course).

Seriously, check this out (in Chrome): http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com

I was kind of wondering what HTML5 could be used for...and this is just one example. It's the best. The best!

Who knew!?

One intrepid soul’s attempt to debunk an urban legend by swallowing a Mento and drinking some Coca-Cola ends exactly how you’d expect.

Dear God, please let this video be one they haven't posted before. Amen.

Tell me Arcade Fire isn't the coolest band around at the moment?

He died on level 9!

Five emotions invented by the internet

Check them out. I think this is the best one: A vague and gnawing pang of anxiety centered around an IM window that has lulled.

During this time an individual feels unsure whether they have offended the IM recipient, committed a breach of IM etiquette, or have otherwise spoilt the presentation of themselves carefully crafted thus far thanks to the miracles of the textual medium. The individual must be at least vaguely aware that they are being vaguely paranoid, and must tell themselves things like 'he probably just stepped away from the keyboard' or 'I know she is at work right now so perhaps she has stopped replying because she is busy.'

Brings back memories

Did you guys see this? Someone realised that Warner Bros. had not changed the official 'Space Jam' website from, like, 1996. And it's getting gazillions of hits.

How Space Jam’s Website Went Viral. Space Jam’s 1996 Website, That Is.

And now people have found more original movie sites that are untouched - like 'Titanic' and 'Event Horizon'. I totally remember going to these sites in 1997 (all the time) because I had just signed up to the net through Cyberelectric!

I might shed a few tears.

What was the first website you remember visiting?

Now he's done Sith
