HELLO WORLD

Posted at 3:54pm on Tuesday, December 9th, 2003

Now that is cool. Send an SMS and have it projected by a laserbeam onto a mountain overlooking Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, onto the UN building in New York City, onto the most prominent building in downtown Mumbai or onto a 140 metre tall water fountain in Geneva. Hello World. There’s also an archive of previous messages.

Oh. My. God. You can take your love of Star Wars too far… And apparently you can take it *much* too far: Car Fighters… Sadly I drive one of these, although you’ll be pleased to know that I haven’t made it look like an H-Wing yet.
