I sent the #drone up to capture the beauty and relative solitude of my current #anchorage off Valcour Island in Lake Champlain. Yes, there's a small party of mostly quiet campers on shore nearby. And that weird long, narrow floating thing seems to be a swimming dock that's anchored there. But hardly anyone comes into this cove and it's dead quiet and calm at night. #boating#BoatLife
Remember when the #drone tech hype train was big a decade or so ago and pitched we'd all have drones and get our Amazon deliveries on our doorstep by a drone hours after placing an order?
Here is another Doggerland update.
I added two more tracks: Siren Song & Wetlands V.
Thank you all for your time and support!
Please have a listen! Enjoy! https://feinstruktur.bandcamp.com/album/doggerland
Explore a world of kosmische-inspired drone, alien soundscapes and general synthesizer fuckery on Metaphysical Shitposting, my latest (and ongoing) release. All but guaranteed to be the weirdest thing you'll listen to today!

[A general focus but very interesting and informative]
“James Morrison, head pilot and UAS ("Unmanned Aircraft System") lead at Ordnance Survey, discusses the use of drones in mapping and surveying. He shares examples of how drones were used to quickly assess landslips and update mapping in the Isle of Wight, as well as capture data for residential housing developments. James explains the different types of drones used by Ordnance Survey and their capabilities, including capturing imagery with centimeter-level accuracy…” #GIS#spatial#mapping#OSRapidMapping#engineeringgeology#remotsesensing#UAV#drone#survey#UK#England#UAS#aerial#usecase#efficiency#podcast @OS
> The system also opens the possibility of using them to ambush Russian aircraft as they take-off or land on Crimean air bases. The USVs can sit off the Crimean coast and pick off the aircraft as they approach unawares. There is at least circumstantial evidence to suggest that this may have already been done.
There, I said it. And now I'll probably pay for it.
Because there are boundaries around how we can talk about #Oct7. You can support the #Palestinians: yes. But showing any sympathy at all for Hamas, is beyond the pale — you'll get doxxed, cancelled, vilified as an antisemite and worse..."
#FarhanHaq, a #UN spokesperson, said the new smaller numbers reflected those bodies which had been fully identified. The bigger figures included corpses for whom identification has so far not been completed.
"If we're shooting down a $50,000 one-way #drone with a $3 million #missile, that's not a good cost equation," Bill LaPlante, the #Pentagon's chief weapons buyer, told a Senate appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday. #RedSea#Houthis#Israel#Gaza

Had dinner at Mel's #Diner. There was a young couple in the corner that reminded me of myself 30+ years ago after I had moved to #SanFrancico. When I paid my bill, I paid thiers as well before slipping out the door. They had only ordered some fries, probably trying to have a cheap date. Wish them the best.
FYI, I forgot my #DJI#drone controller at home, so no drone #photos this trip, oh well.

Album Review: PALLBEARER Mind Burns Alive
"Mind Burns Alive is sure to evoke something new and delightfully pensive out of the listener."
Explore the wilder, more #experimental side of my work with Metaphysical Shitposting, an evolving collection (new tracks added about once a month) of #drone, #ambient and #soundscape pieces, with the occasional splash of musique concrete, #kosmische and #noise mixed in to keep things interesting.
Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse always held a bit of mystery for me, since I could never get close to it, sitting out in Casco Bay on a rocky ledge. Thanks to my drone, I've been able to demystify it a bit. Here's a recent sunrise image of the lighthouse. https://rickberk.pixels.com/featured/morning-glow-at-ram-island-ledge-rick-berk.html
