Aussie-Copter

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

Not just because it’s a guy flying a quadracopter, doing the 1st-person POV thing through video-glasses…

… but because it’s a hippie house with solar panels and a garden and broken down cars in the front yard. That’s what I’m talkin bout. It’s got that whole pre-post-apocalypse thing going on.

It must feel quite frustrating flying around a gadget like this without guns or rockets or something. It’s like when you play space invaders your whole life and then you try are car-racing game and it’s like “WTF? I’m not allowed to shoot the other cars?!?!”

It’ll be deemed a major breakthrough when quadracopters become silent. Wonder how hard that is.

    Australia. It can get quite jungly in places.

    NZ doesn’t quite run to that level of warm-green-dangeryness. Bit cold. Mind you, Aus teems with tiny venom-equipped monsters (and crocs) whereas NZ has none.

    Apart from a single poisonous spider that is very very shy and hides under logs etc. These http://www.canterburynature.org/species/lincoln_essays/images/katipo/katipo1.jpg

    Looks scary, but you should see the Australian ones. It’s like that one on acid.
