When Google Maps first launched, I was blown away by the ability to look at neighborhoods via satellite. The Arcade Fire’s newest video, featuring the song “We Used To Wait,” has taken the Google Maps application one step further by incorporating HTML5, transforming the web experience into an interactive tour. After entering the home address of where you grew up, sit back and enjoy your urban adventure. The video is aptly named The Wilderness Downtown, and is best viewed in Google Chrome; make sure you close all other browsing windows and exit other programs before attempting to watch. (via Wired)

Charles Bergquist has been hiding behind his camera for too long. The California filmmaker, designer and photographer is ready to bust loose. And for good reason. Charles might not have a resume but his portfolio leads me to believe he’s on the cusp of something truly amazing. You heard it here first, this guy is going places.

In our final episode, Kumar shows his true character during a San Diego dinner-party and a sold-out performance at a local cafe.

I’ve seen plenty of redesigned band and tour posters before, but if you’re a film buff you really need to see these prints by Brandon Schaefer. They’re all done beautifully and are something I’d be proud to hang on my walls. P.S. – The Wizard isn’t actually one my favorite movies, but it does have Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis and two clips (click here and here) that are chart-toppers in unintentional comedy. Thanks to John for tipping us off on the prints.

In Episode 2, we hit up Kumar’s weekly bridge game at the Oakland Senior Center, learn about the Indian Card Shuffle and see him do what he does best – make people smile. Music featured in this episode includes jams by Kennedy and Coconut Records. And in case you missed it, here’s links to view view the trailer, Episode 1 and behind-the-scenes production photos. See you next Tuesday for Episode 3!
