The Cake Shop needs your help
For a variety of reasons, I tend to dislike pleas for crowd-sourced help for the arts. I’m not against the method of funding all together, but its become a lazy and indulgent means in many cases.

Revolutionary or Routine?
While reading up on more about Drones and “drone warfare,” I came across this somewhat empirical analysis of drones by Time Magazine’s Winslow Wheeler.
