I have for years taken several supplements daily. I recently made some changes based on evidence that these tweaks could support a robust covid response and even reduce the risk of infection. Zyrtec $0.05/day on Amazon I have experimented with many options for allergy medicines. This is important as someone with asthma because allergies can… Continue reading My Covid Stack

Now that the Earth is turning into Tatooine, how practical is moisture farming?
I wanted to work out a simple proof of concept and cost analysis for how to actually extract a meaningful amount of moisture from the air. This estimate includes the best prices I could find for each component of a reliable system which will continue to work for a period of ten years without maintenance… Continue reading Now that the Earth is turning into Tatooine, how practical is moisture farming?
Data: Air Quality and Cooking
I was curious what cooking does to air quality and nuclear radiation. We know that cooking meats releases naturally occurring radioactive materials just like wildfires do. For the curious, I was cooking bulgogi. As you can see, at 1:30 when I started cooking, there was a huge spike in the indoor air pollution in my… Continue reading Data: Air Quality and Cooking
Data: $30 DIY Air Filters Are Excellent
I recently did a post about an experimental filter design which should provide excellent protection for just $30, probably exceeding the effectiveness of even the most expensive filters on the market. Well the data is in, and I was right. A Very Smokey Week Due to the most extreme wildfire conditions in history, California was… Continue reading Data: $30 DIY Air Filters Are Excellent
N95 Is Not Good Enough
I have severe asthma. I have tried hiking in an N95 mask and I have asthma attacks the whole time. My home environment is kept extremely clean by my custom high-power low-cost air filtration system; my indoor PM values usually stay at zero. The only other variable is N95. So what is N95? The certification… Continue reading N95 Is Not Good Enough
Generative Adversarial Networks
It would be really fun to expand on my previous work with developing agario bots to use generative adversarial networks and watch them learn to beat each other.
Multpurpose Apocalypse Sensors v3
This is the third version of my apocalypse sensor array. The major change is a move to laser particulate matter sensors instead of infrared. Current Hardware MKR 1010: This is a really great microcontroller. It uses SAMD so it can be a little different to get things working instead of the traditional Arduino chips. Most… Continue reading Multpurpose Apocalypse Sensors v3
Ham Grinder
Something like grindr except for amateur radio frequencies nearby your location, and make it work offline, potentially interfacing with SDR tools.
Data: Nuclear Radiation and Wildfires
I am conducting a long-term experiment of the environmental factors associated with the wildefires. One factor I am looking at is the ambient nuclear radiation levels. Hypothesis I believe that when the fires start, we will see a significant increase in radionuclide count per minute, because of naturally occurring radioactive materials being released into the… Continue reading Data: Nuclear Radiation and Wildfires
Making Cowboy Cold Brew Iced Coffee
I really like to make cold brew iced coffee. I also like to go camping. I developed this method for making cowboy cold brew which works just as well at home or in the woods. Cowboy coffee refers to mixing the grounds in with the water and then pouring it out through a filter once… Continue reading Making Cowboy Cold Brew Iced Coffee
