While she may be telling the truth, does anyone who actually lived in Africa actually say that? It would be like me telling a story to people in China and saying "Yeah, I used to live in Europe, and the soup was boring". I would only say Europe and not UK/Scotland/Glasgow if I was either lying or I lived in Cranhill.

You could always make a parachute / airbag for it, just in case...
Ideal design:
Remote control to decouple from kite line, automatically kicks in if connection to remote control is lost for whatever reason. Once decoupled, parachute deploys. Camera is mounted on pre-inflated airbags (hence very lightweight) which also double as a flotation device for water landing.

i think the sucess of this is more dependent on your kite flying/kit building skill than your ability as a photographer, and you must get a good percentage of bum shots ( must have cost a fortune when using film)but there are some great pics on that movie.
well there is no way i am slinging my camera under a kite, the only possible outcome i can see is a bag of camera parts :(

I was reading an article on Wired which linked to various sites that showed how to make various charts in CSS with no images... none of them managed the text-changing-colour effect that's so popular (in fact the text on some of them was god awful).
I was pretty sure I could do better so I knocked up this concept!
Feel free to steal it (Credit is fine. So is cash. Arf)
I haven't even really tested this, it's just a proof of concept. Don't be shocked if it doesn't work in anything except Firefox.
The javascript is solely for the dynamicness to show it off. All the actual layouting stuff is in the CSS.
It's currently fixed width, unfortunately. I might work on that.
It uses floats and negative margins, so probably isn't very cross compatible as it stands.
Lemme know if this is cool or not. If it is I might spend some time making a decent version.

there is an odd glitch every now and then but that might be IE 7. I reckon it's pretty cool *clicks*

I only have IE8 here in which it fucks up royally. Standards testing this is fun, the animation and wait create suspense!
Oh, and it doesn't have the DOCTYPE thing so IE will probably not go into compliance mode.

but at a few stages through the progress it just kind of goes "WEWWOOOOO", if you know what I mean? no? lol!
It kind of jumps down then up again if that helps.
Edit: but really quickly, just like 100ms or something.

It makes the left hand bar wider before making the right hand one narrower. So they're getting two wide and popping out. Is it fixed now?
Also, I'm less worried about JS related issues as the animation isn't the important part.

i've watched it a few times now and it seems that the bar gets taller, and the button adjusts to compensate the new height too, then like a flicker later it's back to normal again. And as "Thrill_My_Chinchilla" just said above, it's about 20% and 70% that it happens. Could it be some kind of weird rounding issue?

Try this one if you have the patience, and see if you can narrow it down?

Although when the bar gets to 50% the black percentage moves to the right to stay on the pink bar. The white percentage seems to be doing what it is supposed to do though.
