It ran smoothly for me, but looked incredibly stupid.

Wow, you scrolled around google maps for 5 minutes, ran an animation of birds and came up with an interactive font.

Welcome to 2003

On a side note, are they really going to bring back websites that give us 40 popups without prompting us?

So basically all this does is take me to Google Maps while playing music? Lame.

Nah, like I understand the point it was trying to make, it just didnt impact me at all...I mean, on a whole, as a "tech demo" per se, it wasnt impressive at all...that is all. Still, the concept was interesting...thats at least one positive thing to say right?

Played with it earlier in the day. It was sweet even without sound. Now to try it with sound

I have a lot of good memories floating around the places it showed me. Not only did I see my old house, but the random other places around town it decided to tastefully display happened to be a lot of the major stomping grounds I spent time at back then.

Cool to see that sort of thing built into the video and done the way it was done. I've never seen that sort of mix of something so personal to me and music that I already like.
