Remote Control Blimp

My post about my adventures with the VSTO blimp has generated a few comments both on the blog and at work.

So here's the story behind it.

At TechEd 2004, BJ Holtgrewe from the VSTO Team brought a number of these remote control blimps. At the end of the event, he gave most of them away to attendees, and thanks to some friends on the inside, I managed to get a small blimp.

Last weekend we launched it and the kids have had a lot of fun with it since.

I don't know where BJ bought the blimps from, but I have found a great US site which sells them online in a whole range of sizes. Even their phone number is cool: 1-888-4-A-BLIMP. They are not cheap, but look really cool!
