Sphere It
June 4th, 2007
Over the weekend, you may have noticed a new link, “Sphere: Related Content,” appeared at the bottom of all the posts. I’m trying out a new service called Sphere which finds related blog posts and media (from other sites) that are related to what I wrote about. So far, I’m not overly impressed with the results but that could be a result of my posts being somewhat random and not very mainstream. Anyway, I’ll try it out for a bit and see if people like it. Please let me know either way by leaving a comment.

As a kid, did you ever fear that you’d float away when that clown at your birthday party handed you a ton of helium balloons? I know I sure did but then again, I was afraid of a lot of things back then like shopping carts (it’s a long story). Enter the hobby of cluster ballooning, a practice where people strap a ton of helium balloons to themselves and soar high up into the sky. I’ll stay on the ground but if you want to learn more, check out Ballooning Into the Sky.
