Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Google, Arcade Fire deliver amazing, HTML5-powered music video from the future
Head over to The Wilderness Downtown, punch in the address of the home where you grew up, and watch the magic unfold. The "experience" is definitely one of the most interesting demos to come out of Google's Chrome Experiments thus far. It's a fantastic showcase of what HTML5 and modern browsers bring to the table.
As director Chris Milk told Wired, "[HTML5] is in its infancy right now, but I think the browser will be the next widely recognized artistic medium." He continues by adding "It allows such a larger dialog with the viewer. There's actual two-way communication going on between the art and the observer."
One parting note: is it just me, or was that HTML5 progress indicator every bit as annoying as the ones we've grown accustomed to with Flash preloaders? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Very impressive.
Sadly, you need to enter a city with streetview. I realize many cities have it now, but millions of others still don't.

Didn't seem to work in my Chrome Dev... It just opened like 6-7 small windows with black background and didn't do anything.

so with all those spawning and moving pop up windows, does that mean websites will be able to do this w/ banner pop up windows? :/

ran perfect for me, opened small windows like jValdron but then started playing with no hiccups, was pretty cool. Only worked right in Chrome and I'm using version 7.

Cool but very clumsy implementation using multiple windows.

Works decently in the latest Safari on Mac.
It was an emotional moment.
