My brother sends me interesting stuff from time to time.

I'm too lazy to post anything but I thought I might as well while I'm on the computer and almost done with US homework. My brother sent me this and I thought it was cool enough for sharing. It's about these two guys from MIT (Justin Lee and Oliver Yeh) that filled a weather balloon with helium and hung a styrofoam beer cooler underneath to carry a cheap Canon A470 compact camera. The instant hand warmers kept things from freezing up and made sure the batteries stayed warm enough to work. The entire thing cost about $150 and they photographed the curvature of the Earth too. You should go check it out. :)
