LOCAL: I updated some info with state filings. Budgeting more filings in a couple of weeks will ruin my Valentine’s Day plans. I made cheap business cards. Will drop cards this weekend on a walkabout. Looking for clients.
I spent a day researching state and federal legal laws and news to see how people are being charged for drone crimes, and what the penalties were for various cases. The PennDOT website info for drone pilots is useful, but the info does not in all cases reflect laws in effect since 2021. It does not reflect the keen interest in warfare applications. Protecting the supply chain arrived two years later to be bundled into the national defense reauthorization bill in 2024, a year after it was written. When I saw that, I dove in deeper. I am fast, they are slow.
My state portal where you can get hep to the jive does not anticipate any manufacturing interests. The only thing happening in town is a multi-million dollar bridge restoration project. Dunlap Creek Bridge Rehabilitation | Department of Transportation | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Drones are a municipal issue. States are lagging in industry development and infrastructure. Municipalities follow.
Then I gave a new canvas a canary yellow underlay. Will sketch out and begin an aerial-to-oil this weekend.
NEWS: Artemis II is stacking again. The Orion capsule is being delivered in April. Lockheed Prepping Artemis II Crew Capsule For April Delivery | Aviation Week Network .
DeepSeek appears to be threatening Silicon Valley. This will never get passed. US to criminalize DeepSeek download, up to 20 years prison, $100M fine.
New micro drone navigates cluttered environments at high speeds safely. It can thread the needle at 26 mph, so it is comparable to the baseline performance of my old Mavic. However, it can also work in a relativistic fashion, so moving while mapping in a cluttered and dynamic environment is a no-brainer. The drone uses passive inputs to greatly reduce mapping functions in order to navigate. Small and cheap. I want three of them.
DRONE: I flew the drone after a solid month of sub-freezing temperatures. Very windy yesterday. Planning on a flight in the mountains this weekend.
ART: No new finished work. A heist in Boston.
