Droning on.

A short description of Derren Brown - 'strange man doing strange things'...and all in the interest of entertainment.  I think.

A couple drone stories caught my eye this week, one of them was a 'drone catcher' where drone B fires a mesh net at drone A, thereby rendering drone A safe.  An announcement from a think-tank somewhere on Monday concluded that drones are a potential terrorist threat, maybe they were sponsored by the drone catching manufacturer.

The other drone story was an 'ambulance drone' called an AirMule.  This is capable of lifting 2 people from e.g. battlefields back to a field hospital.  It's not really a drone in my book, just an unmanned helicopter, but I suppose they are the same thing.

It would have to be a big net to stop that one.
