Lifeguard

After Math: First!
It was a week of firsts for the tech industry. Facebook finally got around to adding its first African American board member (because it's not like it's already 2018 or anything), a lifeguard drone made its first Hasselhoffian beach rescue, Ferrari announced that it is indeed working on its first electric supercar, and Kodak took a break from slapping its brand on cryptocurrency mining rigs to release the first footage from its upcoming hybrid Super 8 camera. Numbers, because how else will you put entrants in order?
UK lifeboat crew tests drones as search and rescue helpers
Drones are becoming an important part of the emergency services. Police are using them to search for missing people, while fire departments test them as a tool to survey dangerous sites. Until now, however, we haven't seen or heard about them being used by the coastguard. That all changes today, however, as a lifeboat service in Norfolk, England, has started using them in open water. As the BBC reports, they're equipped with cameras that can live-stream footage to monitors inside the boat. They could prove useful in choppy conditions when the crew can't see above the waves.
One Shots: A sunny day in the Dark Age of Camelot
For today's One Shots, we jump back in time again to show off a lovely sunny and peaceful day from Dark Age of Camelot. This screenshot was sent in to us by site regular Ghen as part of the batch I mentioned previously. Of course, his original title for thisi image is "My lifeguard" with no further commentary on why. Perhaps he'll shed a bit more light on just precisely what that means in comments! (Of course, the other thing that strikes me is that -- short of the avatar -- this could be any one of about a half-dozen MMOs/VWs from the early 90s. Interesting how far we've come!)Have you played an MMO recently, or will be playing one soon? Know where your print-screen button is? Well then what are you waiting for! Send those screenshots in to us at onelook@massively.com and let us all share in your adventures. Your images and story could be next!%Gallery-9798%
