This domain and it's associated IP block are primarily a playground for organizing and sometimes acting upon locally-sourced data. It knows the temperature outside and inside and the weather forecast for the next week. It knows if the chickens are out and if there are eggs to collect. It knows where the smoke on the horizon is coming from. 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.

Perhaps you'd like to see our current, locally measured weather and phenological conditions.

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.

Or perhaps read my write-up on the system I built that listens for the ISS and astronaut transmissions

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