Congratulations, we made it to Friday! Now time for the reward. The very first installation of our favorite five things this week! This is what the week of September 3rd looked like:
1. Video: The Wilderness Downtown.
Arcade Fire teams up with Google to make a nostalgic HTML5 Music Video.
Whew, lots of capital letters in that title. Just a quick heads up for you CNET fans, check out EPIC FU's Twitter Extravaganza episode on CNET TV. There are a couple of other Revision3 shows on CNET, and we're glad to be joining the party!
And for nostalgia's sake, check out what CNET looked like when I first started reading it in 1997. Yay memories!
On Tuesday's episode we covered the weekinreview group in Los Angeles. What exactly is the weekinreview? Well, the founders describe it as an alternative to your regular news source: "Documenting and reporting hearsay recounts of the news, a forum is created in which people who care and are interested in the world around them can have a voice." I first heard about the weekinreview when it was conceived in 2004. They've stayed strong since then, expanding to other cities and countries even. Think of it as the DIY news.
