Google Street View adds the Key

Google has taken pictures of every street on the key. When Street View first debuted, it was limited to certain parts of Miami and Miami Beach. It’s seems they’ve expanded and added many more parts of Miami. Not sure when this happened so it might be old news, but if you want to waste five minutes look up your house and check if you’re outside.

To use it, just head to Google Maps and find the place you want to see, then hit the Street View.

Update: My boy Ike has officially been immortalized in Google Maps. If you find any more post a comment.

WiiFit girl is a Miami native

You may have seen this video in the past week or so. In the video, titled “Why every guy should buy their girlfriend a Wii”, Lauren Bernat is taped by her boyfriend doing the hula hoop game in WiiFit. Well it turns out Lauren is actually from Miami, and from what I’ve heard, she actually used to be on the key everyday hanging with some of the midside warriors.

The video took off and has received over 2 million views. She apparently had no idea it was being filmed, and freaked out when it became so popular.I had an inkling it had to be from around here because butts like that are native to Miami, but now an article in the herald has confirmed it. The video has been so popular people even thought it might be a bit of viral marketing on Nintendo’s part (it’s not).

The gallery is back up

There’s really nothing more disheartening than having the gallery crap out because your webhost is a piece of shit.

Anyway, it’s back up for your browsing pleasure, complete with some pics of this weekend.

Keyrats Live at Cefalo’s again this Friday 6/6

In case you missed it when they played their little acoustic set last Friday, the Keyrats are playing again at Cefalo’s in the Grove. Everyone I got to talk to said it was a good time, and I think people were even hoping it was going to be a regular thing. For them and for all of you who missed it, it’s not a bad Friday night.

On a related note, I’ve heard that Mike, the bassist, is leaving the Keyrats. He’s taking a job in Naples, and will continue to play with the rats on and off until a proper replacement is found. Not exactly the best news, but sometimes these things happen. Even though Alex is the driving force behind the Keyrats, I always felt Mike played a big part in defining some of the Keyrats’ more wacky, party loving style. On the backend of things he also contributed a lot to keeping the rats focused and organized. We all wish him the best, and hope he comes back to play a show or two in the future.
