In and amongst the thousand things I need to do, will be revising the "Kite Drone" page on my site to reflect all the work that has happened during the summer. This will include better shots of the hardware itself. Pictured is an oddly nice capture of the new sensor box, in its ideal habitat - albeit decoupled from the rest of the sensor boom.

Some more shots of the Kite Drone in Kernow

(I will have to design and put together a proper landing gear unit for this soon - that string is a disaster!)

The UK released a pamphlet claiming that recording someone in a public space without their permission could lead to arrest, but in the UK you do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places.

The page is part of a government initiative for preventing violent behaviors by immigrants.

Knowing the law is the only way to verify the accuracy of official guidance. Be alert; be skeptical.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔥🌲 More than 75% of #US #wildfires are started by people, through negligence, downed power lines, or arson, according to federal #data.

The growing wildland-urban interface turns more of us into ignition sources, while #climatechange dries out fuels and extends #fire season. It grounds the pattern in the #Spokane Old Trails Fire and the arrest of a man accused of setting dozens of blazes.
