Intro and Scherzo

This piece of internet flotsam is just a place to record my brittle mind musings. The flit across the consciousness, of the kind probably better not voiced aloud and so finds a perfect place in the blogosphere.

To wit: Marry a 802.11b/g/n receiver and one of those snap-together scale aircraft that you can get from either England or Korea, and fly your toy connected to the nearest wi-fi hotspot. The four-axis controller goes to your PC (laptop, practically) via bluetooth or simple wired usb.

You can tell where I'm going with this: if the aeroplane can host a nose-camera, then you don't even need to be near the takeoff/landing zone, other than for crash recovery and refueling.

What would someone do with this? Other than be 1.) a nuisance to traffic 2.) a brownshirt for the DHS or 3.) an uber-nerd with hacker cred as soon as the video stream is posted to a Tube site. I have no idea. I don't plan on actually making one of these. That's too much work. It's Just An Idea(tm).

Stay tuned to this channel for other brain blurps. At least if I write them down I can stop thinking about them.
