    Hmm. I'm going to need a very fast car, a driver and a gun capable of taking down weather balloons at a distance. Social networking or a man with a rifle, the race is on! #darpanetworkchallenge

    @AmphetamineCrown: "Balloons will be in readily accessible locations, visible from nearby roadways and accompanied by DARPA representatives. All balloons are scheduled to go on display at all locations at 10:00AM (ET) until approximately 4:00 PM (local time) on Saturday, December 5, 2009."

    So where are you going to pick up the costume for the DARPA rep? #darpanetworkchallenge

    Interesting..... There was a giant red balloon on the side of Rt. 80 East in NJ this morning, somewhere around exit 53... I'd be more specific but I'm way to hung over to think straight #darpanetworkchallenge
