Quadrotor Acrobatics
Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • We've been watching the University of Pennsylvania's quadrotor autonomous helicopter project for the past few months with increasing levels of dread. Now, the terrifying thing has learned to fly through thrown hoops. [From: YouTube]
  • Steve Martin, wild and crazy guy, has joined Twitter. [From: @SteveMartinToGo]
  • Microsoft led the day with the launch of the Internet Explorer 9 beta, and some of the biggest designers got together to build a showcase to the new browser's power. The Lost World's Fairs project shows off IE9's Web Open Font Format support on gorgeously designed The Moon, Atlantis and El Dorado. [From: Lost World's Fairs, via: Jason Santa Maria]
