Measurement ≠ Conclusion

Can a piece of aluminum foil change an EMF meter reading?

Yes. That doesn't mean it reduces exposure.

In this experiment, a piece of tin foil caused the electric field meter to read both higher and lower at different times…

Why Do We Measure AI and Not Nuclear?

The Water We Forgot to Measure. 

AI data centers have sparked conversations about water use. What happens if that electricity comes from nuclear power? This isn't a debate about whether nuclear energy is good or bad. It's a question…

Why Do We Measure AI Water Use, Not Electricity

I drove past a gas station today with about ten electric vehicles charging. It made me wonder... how much water is associated with generating the electricity charging those cars?

A Tesla typically uses about 0.25 kWh per mile.

Using a…

How Do We Know if a Test Works?

Rather than relying on assumptions, I built an experiment.

I constructed a wall containing mold-contaminated drywall hidden inside and tested whether wall cavity air sampling could reliably detect it.

The results revealed something important:

The question isn't simply whether the…

The Right Process Creates Better Outcomes

Watch the full video here.

Everyone knows the secret to great BBQ: Low heat.  Long cook time.  Patience. 225°  for six hours. Rush it and the outside may look done, while the inside still isn’t ready.

I think product…

From Idea → App

Watch the full video here.

Most experience software as a finished product. They rarely see the process: deciding what problems the software should solve, sketching, wire framing, prototyping, coding, testing, and releasing.

Code is only part of the work. …

You don’t always get clear conditions

You don’t always get clear conditions. Conditions change near the top. Movement creates new information. Progress requires trust. Success comes after commitment.

Watch the video here.

Productivity

One of the most overlooked problems with productivity is that people measure motion instead of progress. Crossing things off a list can create the feeling of advancement, even when the work being done has little connection to the outcome that…

The Solution to AI Data Centers

Everyone's talking about AI data centers. Few are asking where they should be built. Companies are proposing something that sounds like science fiction:

Put them in space.

Every solution has the potential to solve one problem while creating another.

Would…

This is Not a Mold Camera

An image is an observation. An interpretation is the conclusion.

Those are not the same.

Many think a thermal camera sees:

• mold
• moisture
• heat loss
• hidden defectsIt does not.

A thermal camera measures infrared energy.

Speed vs Direction

We’re entering a time where technology allows people and organizations to move faster than ever.

Speed only helps if the direction is correct. A faster process does not solve a poorly defined objective. A smarter tool does not automatically produce…

Can we trust the measurement?

When a TriField Meter Gives the Wrong Reading

In this video, I compare the TriField, a popular meter used to measuer magnetic field meters, with an FW Bell gauss meter, the professional grade instrument used to measure magnetic fields.

You'll…
