Think Differently. Solve the Impossible.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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. Conditions change near the top. Movement creates new information. Progress requires trust. Success comes after commitment.

Watch the video here.

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…

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.

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.

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…

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…

If you want to think clearly under uncertainty, you need more than effort — you need structure.

When I’m working on a difficult problem — whether it’s engineering, strategy, product design, or climbing an unclimbed mountain — I don’t rely…

Dataset ≠ Songs.

While investigating claims that AI developers trained on a 12-million-song dataset, I discovered something I had not expected:

The dataset does not contain 12 million songs.

It contains about 12 million links to songs, along with metadata…

Political arguments aren’t disagreements about the same solution.

They begin earlier with:

* what problem matters
* what risk is being prioritized
* what outcome is being protected
* and what people believe the system is supposed to do.

People often focus on radiation when discussing concerns about EMFs and microwave ovens.

In measurements I’ve done in homes for clients, the strongest readings near the appliance were magnetic fields generated by the microwave operating — not microwave-frequency leakage coming…

A lot of dating advice focuses on how to perform better:

- How to text.
- How to impress.
- How to avoid mistakes.
- How to increase attraction.

That assumes the goal of a first date is approval.

Speed of decision-making matters.
Slow decisions kill momentum.
Speed locks in direction.

If the problem is clear —speed is an advantage.

If it isn’t, speed compounds the wrong path.

Most problems don’t start with bad execution.  They start with the wrong question.


Check the question.
When the question is off, everything that follows can feel logical…
 
and lead you in the wrong direction.

What’s a time everything made sense…

Most people think mold looks like this.
 In most cases, the real problem isn’t visible.


That’s where decisions start going wrong. 

What are you using to decide there’s a problem—or not?

"We need more data."

It's one of the most common responses when people feel uncertain.

Sometimes it's the right response.

Often, it isn't.

If you're measuring the wrong thing, collecting more data simply gives you more confidence in the wrong…

Overthinking gets treated like thinking too much.

That’s not what’s happening.

Overthinking is what happens when the question isn’t clear. Your brain keeps trying to solve something it hasn’t defined.

In making decisions, you…

A common assumption is that hydrogen peroxide “kills mold.”
I wanted to see what actually happens.

In partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, I designed and conducted experiments examining the effects of hydrogen peroxide on mold growth and structure.

What…

Rather than debate a question, I ran a simple experiment.

Samples were exposed to:

• electric fields
• magnetic fields
• RF exposure
• grounding
• a control condition

One observation stood out: samples exposed to electric fields showed higher…
