This is officially my new coolest thing in the world.
"Two Canadian teenagers have sent a Lego man into the outer reaches of the Earth's atmosphere using a home-stitched parachute and equipment found on Craigslist.
Two weeks ago, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached the plastic figurine replete with maple leaf flag to a helium balloon, which they sent 80,000 feet into the air.
The pair managed to capture the entire journey into the blackness of space, including the descent, which lasted 97 minutes, using four cameras, at an entire cost of just £254."

No longer a volunteer!
Hi all,
This has been coming for a while now but life has been far too busy for me to keep up with my volunteer duties to a sufficient capacity.
A lot of positive life things that have been happening, to name a few - I bought my first house which I'm working on over time, I'm getting married in August to a lovely lady (whom I actually first started talking to here on dA!), and my job is getting busier and busier by the minute.

As unusual as this might seem it makes perfect sense when you consider that spend an awful lot of time to work on something that doesn't see the light of day for a long time. Film in Progress is a series that aims to give you a chance to talk about and show off development work for your projects, so if you have stills and othe
AFK for a bit!
Ahoy all!
So I'm going to Hong Kong tomorrow for a couple of weeks to visit relatives.
But in other news I have just recently acquired my first house! And that also means that I may be lacking Internet connection for a little while when I get back too, I'm not entirely sure when I'll be properly connected again. But we got all that work booked in for shortly when I get back so hopefully I won't actually be missing for that long.
With that in mind I often have Internet connection when I'm in Hong Kong but that may not be the case this time because I will be staying at a hotel instead of relatives this time. And I think they charge crazy for
