The future's not here right now.

I don't know where the future of the internet lies, but it looks like my laptop will have to be dragged kicking and screaming when it does arrive.

I'd heard for the last two days about Ok Go's and Chrome's new experiment, All is Not Lost. Since I can't view video in work, I settled down just now to give it a go only for it to stop loading at 71%. I looked to see if Chrome needed updating(it never does) and searched around for some indication it wouldn't work on Ubuntu. Finding nothing I started again only to see it stop loading at 35%. That doesn't even make sense, but there it sits, even now. I since found one article with a user comment saying it wouldn't work for them either.

In my search I found a reference to another music experiment www.ro.me so I went to have a look. It gave me a very nice apology but my graphics card doesn't support webGL so even the future of the recent past is out of bounds for my overheating bundle of sticky keys and crappy integrated graphics.

Thirsting for some interactive internet goodness I went back to Wilderness Downtown, almost expecting that to fail too but it worked perfectly...

Still gives me chills.
