So, with FishPi crossing the oceans and PiInTheSky brushing the edge of space, I guess we now need someone to make WormPi, a tunneling robot

Isn't it cool? It'll be a blog post later on on Wednesday - haven't been able to put it up today because we've had a post about Raspbian waiting to go, but had to wait for the image to be pushed out to all the mirrors, and a trip to the theatre to see the staged version of the Hitch Hikers Guide, which messed up my schedule today a bit.

I believe it holds the record for the highest altitude images transmitted back to the ground by an amateur device in the UK, which is BRILLIANT.

They're beautiful little photos, aren't they? I'm really not exaggerating when I say how many times we've read Dave's page on the project; it really hits a lot of our buttons!

Good job Eben's hat has had a reprieve too. It suits him so well.
