Google has just recently came up with weird idea of "Project Loon". We all 'Loons' know what loon means, hence the word. To add it into perspective, it's about blowing balloons up in the stratosphere , of course, Googles very own 'balls'.. ahem.. I mean 'balloons'. Idea here is carpeting entire world with internet. Balloons will be laced with internet routers and some radio technology. It could probably get internet then even to those unreacheables like the depth of amazon forest, or top of the mount everest or 'shambhala' in deep hollow earth if there were any. Latter is just my 'guff' lol.



People were like 'ha ha ha ha ha' when google proposed the idea of google map back then. I'm not an idiot, I won't do that ' ha ha ha' because Google most of the time has acheived it's set goals.. albeit few of it's online services like 'buzz', 'orkut'(I don't know if ppl still use it) had met untimely demise or euthunized if those were alive.

There are few balloons up there orbiting, they're just trying to figure out how to control all those balloons at once. If they succeed, 'Ram kaka' in remote village of eastern Nepal probably will be able to check sajha dot com while ploughing his field, or 'Ang Tsering' in Jomsong would probably be skyping with some of us here in the United States , alas.. no electricity.. zzzzzzzzz

Anyway, check the following link, beautifully rendered in HTML5 (my favorite platform to code site in modern day semantics with lot of ease and practicality, I wish sajha would someday drop xhtml and embrace HTML5.) and explains what Project loon is all about. 

Go ahead, check it out, it's not boring.. HTML5/CSS3 is super fun even to surf totally irrelevant sites.
