Funky Monkey was pretty blah until (e:terry) busted out his moves for "Turn Down for What". Booties were shaking.

The new droneCategory: flying
(e:mike). the drone you gave (e:Paul) is fucking awesome.
Yesterday we flew the drone (AR Drone 2.0) out at the church. its very difficult - you fly it using your phone, looking through the HD camera on the drone. Plenty of crashes, and thankfully it takes a beating.
Today we flew it with Jeremy - it turns out that since my phone was in German, we missed the settings for indoor vs outdoor flight, and calibrating the accelerometers on flat ground. He was a lot better at it.
I really think there's so much potential for this. There's an SDK and you can also preprogram flights. Imagine flying around and getting a birds eye view of the neighborhood, or following your bike ride. (e:libertad) thinks we could even inspect his roof.
I need to practice this. Much better than driving a car.
Testing Paul's new drone:

Nice.
Btw, you guys should attempt this: :::link:::
And have the drone capture the entire thing. :P

Oh cool yeah I love how the spying thing is the first thing it mentions .... I would think that the more you use it just like the more you use the phone the better you get at it .... I see how it could be tough cause you are going by what you see from its camera not by like looking at it I don't drive but like how if you drove your car by phone and not a steering wheel it would be tough... Plus you don't fly so... It does sound fun though ....

(E:metalpeter) Its actually connected via wifi between your phone and the drone. Almost no lag - you see the video right on your phone and you can record it while it streams in HD.
(E:libertad) it is kind of creepy, the company warns you about using it to spy on the first page of the manual. I think we'll have to practice more because we still crash a lot, but I think we can get good enough to do an inspection on a nice day

We just watched the video on our new tv and were so amazed at the quality of the camera. It would be awesome if you are able to fly it well enough to check out our roof without getting it stuck up there! This technology is so creepy...

I didn't follow the link .... But that sounds tough cause The Drone sees through its camera and sends that picture to the phone Even with how quick that is , would still be a delay and you have to learn that and how close things really are based on that.... But it also sounds like a lot of fun as well .....

Canalside rinksCategory: buffalo
(e:terry) and I took a wintry walk downtown to the new canals while (e:paul) went out to hang with (e:hodown). It was also winter solstice which means it only gets brighter from here on out!
Waste of power!
The new ice canals are so freaking awesome. I want to a get a season pass for four people - only $75. Plus (e:yesthatcasey) could ride the ice bikes. If we got skates it'd be so easy to go down there and it looked a lot nicer than the Rotary Rink.
Terry and I ran back and forth up to the concrete phallus that used to be HSBC. It's super trippy to look up at something so big from it's plaza.
The creepiness of the Sahlen's place is about as creepy as a hot dog is if you think about it.

Bachelor partyCategory: going out
(e:terry) and I headed out to Kallie's brother Curt's bachelor party at Big Orbit Gallery. I talked a bunch with a country bro and we got to watch two drunk people fall in slow motion.
I think we were up until 5, at some point (e:yesthatcasey) and (e:masumi) got a nice tap on the window.

Sorry I can not help but think of those Animees Think like Ghost In A shell or even some newer ones where he vanishes into an on line world and never comes back and that is his new world and what happens there effects the body through those senses .......
