Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached four cameras to a balloon carrying the toy astronaut 24km above Earth.

“I didn’t have so much fun again until 1987 when I went up north and drove a snowmobile for the first time. Raced through birch woods and fell in with a drinking crowd and stood outdoors in -30 (degree) weather drinking cognac and singing bawdy song and I followed the others to a sauna where a dozen of us sat naked in a small hut with hot rocks. All that flesh...

I wasn’t even sure I wanted to do one of those year-end posts because in general, I feel my life is pretty boring. When asked, “what’s new?”, I...
Fuck that.
I just spent the last THREE AND A HALF HOURS working on a “this is what I did last year” post and I went to upload a pic and chrome crashed. And didn’t save my draft. Well, saved it as of about a half hour in. Which is nothing like what it was when it went away.
I am so annoyed.
