Two of my favorite things working together to show off how crazy amazing HTML 5 is.

The Wilderness Downtown (http://thewildernessdowntown.com/)

This is a part of a series that google is doing to showcase what can be done with HTML 5, check out
Chrome Experiments - Home (http://www.chromeexperiments.com/)

you can spend hours here being pretty blown away. For us website designers we have a new world emerging before our eyes!

The technology is definitely impressive. I think html5 is going to be a great thing. That said I wasn't crazy about the way The Wilderness Downtown is presented. Way too much processor power needed. It crashed my computer the first time I tried to run it and I never could find an address that had enough Google Street View information. And way too many windows opening and closing.

The window that let me draw was very impressive. I know some might not think so, but knowing this is down completely through code is amazing.

I've seen a number of html5 galleries and I have been blown away by most. I'm really excited about what's coming in web technologies and what we'll be able to do and what we are doing already.
