Virgin Galactic Plane Prepares for Space Tourists
via @Bytemarks
Well, you may have heard this one before, but Richard Branson is taking pre-orders for $200,000 flights slated for 2011 – 2012. For only 10% down, your name goes on the list with 300 others. The last time I heard about this, it was a couple of years ago and the price was ~$250,000. Maybe in another decade it won’t be a laughably outrageous price.

10 Balloonies – Geocaching for Charity
10 Balloonies – Groundspeak’s DARPA War Room
To mark the 40th Anniversary of the Internet, DARPA is hosting the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the role the Internet and social networking plays in the timely communication, wide area team-building and urgent mobilization required to solve broad scope, time-critical problems. The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States.
Groundspeak is the owner of Geocaching.com and if they win this competition, Groundspeak has pledged to donate $10k on top of the $40k prize money to charity.
As of this writing, they are half way there. They’ve located 5 of the 10 balloons.

Well the safest place for the turkey is right in front of the blaster muzzle.
Happy Thanksgiving!
