A buddy of mine helped to send a camera up this weekend in the Great Balloon Chase. Pretty neat stuff. They may have even beaten a world record, how cool is that.

From the Home Page

An excellent mission where almost everything went right! The prep, launch event, flight and chase could not have gone much better, especially given the weather. This was an excellent team effort.

We reached an altitude of at least 122,323′or 37.28km (not official yet, there are reports of a higher altitude). This surpassed a world record that stood for years before being broken by another group this past summer! To view the track of the balloon:

You can view the map on Google Maps. It will show you the path of the balloon, and the pictures it took along the way.

If you just want to skip right to the pictures, you can also do that

Great work on this project guys. Love to see stuff like this.

Hello,

Sorry to all our readers, we experienced a catastrophic failure over the weekend on one of our servers. It happened to be hosting this site

We are back (thank goodness for anal backups eh?) and everything is running. Please let us know if you encounter any weirdness.

Thanks for your understanding, and we are doing everything we can to make sure it won’t happen again.

Well. The time has finally come for me to setup a personal blog. This is where I’ll write about all the things that I don’t write about on my other blog – voipphreak. Look forward to lots of informative postings and hopefully some fun contests and prizes soon too.
