This domain and it's associated IP block are primarily a playground for organizing and sometimes acting upon locally-sourced data. It knows if the chickens are out or if there's a structure fire in this area of the state. It knows the temperature outside and inside and the weather forecast for the next week. It knows the reason that the power blipped an hour ago is because an eagle flew into nearby power lines, then fell flaming into a nearby ditch, igniting said ditch. It knows when the Department of Natural Resources will be retreiving the eagle's remains. It knows if the well pump or sump pumps are running, it knows about local shipping and aircraft, it knows if the ISS is overhead and if astronauts are looking for a chat with local ham radio operators. It knows if the local stray is on my porch again, if someone's in the driveway, or if it's too late to take out the trash.

It knows all of these things from data gathered from its environment, no internet connection required. It listens, it transcribes, it collates, it reasons, and sometimes it controls.

As I find time to make demonstrations, I put these experiments online.

If you're bored, perhaps you'd like to listen to local public safety radio traffic as received by two software defined radios onsite, and transcribed, correlated, and summarized by locally-hosted AI.

You can also listen to our locally measured wind, as heard through my synthesized aeolian harp.
