A Homemade Drone Looks Like This

Drone or UAV – Unmanned Ariel Vehicle

Recognize the blank CD cases top and bottom?  No camera on board, yet.

What I really want is a Parrot AR Drone 2.0.  An on-board camera recording in 720p, 30fps, and I fly it using my iPhone, come ON.  Look at photos it takes here.

Watch professionals Team Blacksheep fly their drone through New York City, and even buzz the Statue of LIberty.  And the video’s ending is awesome.

Drones will be commonplace, in our lifetime.

I’ll leave you with a video from 2 years ago, when I saw a drone off my balcony.

 

 

 

First Flight I’ve Ever Missed

It was an 8 hour mistake.

Wasn’t totally my fault, although it was my flight so really, who else’s fault could it be?

Regardless, here’s exactly how I felt about it for 3 minutes.

You’d have not wanted to be around me during those minutes.  Then I was over it.

What else are you going to do?

Get to know Concourse E, that’s what!!

When I left for this trip I should have started an “Airports” category, it would have so many posts already.

I will make one now….. tada! Now I have a new blog category, Airports.

Then I perused every single gadget store I could find.

I man-handle every single item.

I projected KeriBlog videos on the wall.

Then I sat around and it was boring and fine, the plane drove me home, the end.

 

Just a Minute – The UAV off my Balcony



I wonder, eh.

Below is what a UAV looks like.  That’s a Draganflyer X6, a popular model with the Forces, the Police and with enough cash you or I could buy one… $20,000-ish.

Click here for a video of the thing flying around and its perspective.  And get THIS: they’re Canadian!  Right out of Saskatchewan, nice.

Of course I want one. Imagine me walking down the street with that flying just behind me?? I KNOW.
