Well we weren’t able to fund our giant flying cupcake with the DARPA Network Challenge, we’ve got a new effort you can help us achieve (and this one should be a bit simpler!) Airigami has been working on- Take a look
You can help by sharing the video on Facebook & Twitter. Here’s a sample Tweet [...]
Well we’ve had a day to let it all sink in. Overall I’m still thrilled at how well we did, considering for the most part that only Larry & I were coordinating our group from my dining room table with 4 kids running around. With the help of our pre-existing networks we managed to get [...]
Well. I feel like we did- What a fun day! I’ll do a full post-analysis tomorrow of the day’s events, but I just wanted to check in before I crashed for the evening. Congrats to the MIT crew, I can’t wait to read what you guys were up to during the day!
I still stand firm [...]
For those of you who are new to this challenge, check out this short video we put together in the wee hours of last night.
Basically we are looking for 10 red weather balloons that look like the ones at left. They will be moored across the continental US at locations near roadways. We need to [...]
So I’ve gotten wind of people who are intentionally trying to sabotage the Network Challenge by putting up fake balloons. Think yer soo tough, eh? Gonna show those DARPA fellas aren’t you? I betcha a giant baked good that they were really hoping that people putting up false balloons and false data so they could [...]

I think it’s a little too early in the week to be posting photos of the balloons to avoid copycat balloons- but again even with the [...]
Alternatively, the prize may actually be scooped by some naive and fluffy group like the charitables or the flying-cupcake mob – though a group of the first and darker sort might also credibly pretend to be of this type. (via The Register)
NAIVE & FLUFFY?! I’ll take sweet, airy perhaps- but we are serious about finding [...]

I’ve opened up a flickr group for anyone who feels like playing with photoshop. You can grab a transparent image off of the Flying Cupcake-inator page (it’s already cleaned up so making your own image should be, er, well cake!) upload it to your flickr account and then join the flying cupcake group/add to the [...]
Well, our balloons anyway hahah.
Get this awesome flying cupcake to appear on top of your favorite website…
What are you waiting for cupcake? Go on and tweet about it! The challenge is only 6 days away and we need to summon the power of every internet meme we can think of… Any suggestions?
So Larry’s on board! He’d love to build a giant flying cupcake- now all we need is your help. To keep it simple, we’re directing people to his website airigami.com to enter in balloon location info. While we wait for the 5th to get here, you should check out the TEDx talk Larry gave earlier [...]
