Drones: not just for surveillance anymore. Now they can blend.
A video uploaded to the Youtube channel Speed Motion Films shows a drone slicing, dicing and chopping its way through all sorts of food in glorious slow motion. It’s the perfect blender for your home, if you don’t mind an incredible mess and a large risk that you will get severely injured.
If you’re planning to entertain guests on New Years Eve, consider scrapping the rickety old blender for a powerful quadcopter. Your guests will love it and you’ll barely notice the insane mess.

For the photographers out there, from the occasional Instagrammer to professionals, here are some tried-and-true resolutions (pun intended) to break out of a creative rut or improve your skills in the coming year.
Move away from the center
Instagram’s emphasis on squares was big and something new for a lot of photographers. Now that Instagram supports both portrait and landscapes, it’s time to make better use of that space. The “rule of thirds” is a beautiful thing, and it means you don’t need to drop whatever you’re focusing on directly into the middle of the frame.
