Are you seeing red? Balloons, that is...

Here's an interesting contest by DARPA, celebrating the internet. Network with folks you know around the US, and see how many of the red DARPA weather balloons your network can find. The MIT team is sharing the prize, while doing an experiment, too. It's just started today, and probably won't take more than a day or two to finish, so check it out asap, if you're curious.

It might be fun...

This sounds like a typical DARPA project.

If you know the PO well, you can get any idiotic idea funded, at least once.

I don't understand -- what does this have to do with the Post Office?
