"A vertical take-off and landing dual ducted fan coanda effect unmanned air vehicle with a 1,000kg (2,200lb) payload capacity has been unveiled by Peterborough, UK-based UAV company Aesir. Named after the Norse god Hoder, the design is intended to perform logistics transport missions with an endurance of 8h, dry mass of 1,500kg and using JP-8 fuel. Hoder is the largest of Aesir's range of UAVs. This also includes the 1m (3.28ft) diameter Odin, which has a 1h endurance with a 10kg payload, and the Vidar: a mini version of the Odin with a 100g payload capacity." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet - BairdWilliamson

"Over the past few years we’ve seen 3-D panoramic photographs become popular on the Web. These are photos taken with special 360-degree cameras and stitched together to mimic the experience of moving through space. If you’ve ever used the Google Street View feature in Google Maps, you know what a 3-D still photo looks like. But what if Google Street View used video instead of still photos? You’d end up with YellowBird." - BairdWilliamson from Bookmarklet

Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Serenity left a giant indelible mark in the wild west of modern science fiction, leaving rabid fans wanting more, much more. Rather than wait for Fox or NBC to come around and maybe give fans what they crave, some fans have taken it upon themselves to extend the Firefly story themselves. Browncoats: Redemption is not your typical fan flick. This one has a compelling story, a tight script, elaborate well lit sets, actors who know how to act, all shot on RED cameras and to top it all off, for charity! Well into principal production, Redemption is looking a lot like what die hard fans have been clamoring for. Joss Whedon has reportedly given the production his thumbs up, with some of his and Serenity/Firefly cast members’ charities standing to benefit. Scott Stead, GETV Field Contributor in Washington, DC, visits the Redemption set during principal shooting and speaks with creators/producers Steven J. Fisher and Michael C. Dougherty as well as several of the film’s cast members. - BairdWilliamson from Bookmarklet
