Weekend Update

Red Bull Flugtag returned to Austin this past weekend. For those of you who somehow haven't seen the commercials, Flugtag is an event showcasing man-made, self-propelled, flying machines. I'd use the term "flying machines" loosely though. Most of these crafts don't make it but a few feet off the launchpad before they plummet. All in all, the event is fairly entertaining though. With each successive entry, you kind of convince yourself that this one is going to be the one that flies. I unfortunately didn't get a single picture. The event was much more crowded than we expected it to be.
