Burning foxes ftw.

I use Lynx.

I saw a bit of Arcade Fire at Lollapalooza this year, and a few months ago on The Daily Show (?), and I can honestly say that I just don't get it. Their songs have no real structure or theme, either individually or collectively, and the lyrics just plain don't make sense. Most of their music just sounds like continuous, amorphous sound.

I realize this makes me sound simultaneously like an old **** and an indie rock hater (incidentally, I'm both), but I honestly don't see how people can legitimately enjoy this group.

Cue the angsty teens and their angsty angst.

They first came to my attention a couple years ago when I heard the song Intervention. I still like that song, but their music for the most part is nothing special. They've gotten very popular recently.

This is all about the interactive video though. Has ANYONE been able to watch it?

A spoiler: The video uses google maps, streetview and arial to personalize the video. But it also uses 'window frames' in a collagey - artsy sort of way. The birds are my favorite part.

Oh, I use Chrome both at work and at home. In fact, I thought of this because one of my co-workers was questioning how it was that I got to use chrome (I dl'ed it). I didn't ask, but after I'd been using it awhile, my IT guy admitted he too used it though warned me that it wasn't supported by the company....lol, like IE is. There are a couple work apps that I have to switch to IE for.

I'm interested in seeing it but I don't think my office is the place to install Chrome and play with it.

I'd be using Chrome, but for some reason it doesn't play nice with my computer anymore. Crashes on startup every single time.

At least Firefox is still solid.

I use Chrome. Don't even have Firefox installed anymore. And I only have IE cause I have to.

That video was pretty cool. It showed my street and another shot of my neighborhood. But it was the other end of my street, so I didn't get to see my old house. Writing a letter to myself was hard, since it uses that weird ivy-writing stuff, or whatever it is.

Chrome Beta 7 now says "Sending Request" instead of "Resolving Host."

Still taking 30 seconds to load some web pages.

This.

And the OP thing was way too wonky. Not sure if it was supposed to be like that or if it didnt like "google chrome for mac".

That was pretty cool.


I've been using Chrome almost exclusively since the Spring. It's a pretty awesome browser, though there are a couple sites that don't work on it that I have to use Firefox for.
