Amazing video from Marshall Culpepper's PEPPER-1 high altitude balloon. I'm\nlooking forward to PEPPER-2.

A promising resource for building \"static\" web apps from Divshot:

\n
Rather than assemble content in server-side processes, static web\napplications rely on the user's browser to drive interaction and content\nrendering. Once considered only useful for static content, modern static web\napps can dynamically fetch data, synchronize multiple users in real time, and\nmore.
\n

While I think web developers who want to build apps should seek fluency in a\nserver-side technology, there is a place for static web sites for small micro\napps and MVP prototypes. Thanks to the rise of APIs that support CORS\nand services like Parse that provide a ready-to-go backend, these apps are\nmore powerful than ever.

GitHub is also sponsoring an upcoming hackathon, the first such contest\nI've seen just for static web apps.
