If you're on the fringes of Nerd Town, you may have read about Flash vs HTML 5. Google is supporting a move to HTML 5 and has an experiment page to give Internet users an idea of what can be accomplished with the new coding. Their latest experiment is a new video by Arcade Fire. Whether you're into Canadian indie alt rock or not the video is worth checking out. You should use the Chrome browser.

DeStorm is a talented guy who might be a little too obsessed with old TV shows - my kind of guy.

The great nerd musical

It isn't new but it's surprising to me how few people have seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog. It stars Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion (from Serenity), Felicia Day (from the web-series The Guild), and it was directed by Joss Whedon (if you don't know who he is you have no nerd cred.) You can buy the musical on iTunes or Amazon but a low-res version is available on YouTube. If you have a Netflix account, you can stream the high-res version on your computer (or if you're a true nerd you video game system, iPad, or smartphone.
