Melbourne is a wonderful city and this video goes part of the way to do it some justice.

I was sitting on the shoreline of the yarra river on the night of the firework show that is in the video. It was the culmination of our annual Moomba Festival. A wonderful night for the best city in the world.

Thank You.

I love this idea. One area where I know this type of application would be perfect is for events when large crowds do not usually congregate. An example would be a music festival or large concerts. Most music festivals, sporting events and concerts I attend usually have a lack of adequate network coverage due to so many people being in the same area at once. I find that most of the people at these events are trying to communicate with one another, making Tin-Can the perfect application. High Density of people, lack of working cellular coverage, quick communication within the crowd.

Go for it guys!

This was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

I often think about the concept of the ruling class and how applicable it is in our current society. Reading something like this confirms how 'stuck' much of society is.

Curious. It's such a basic and fun feeling.

I disagree with the notion that it is a good example of Capitalism. There is still the requirement to pay a $300 ticket to be able to participate. This 'ticket' pays for basic services within the society. I just think its a bit rich to be call it the 'true spirit' of free enterprise society if you have to charge people to take part.

All those years of adding CCTV cameras will be wasted. The day the first piece of video evidence is thrown out in a court because it's too easy to fake will be a scary moment in society.

This one was my favorite of the most recent. Left me a bit freaked out afterwards.

This is scary for so many reasons. These people know that they are fucking with everyone, and none of them care. He's simply ok with the fact that everything is about to go to shit.
