| Datawake A New Project of Nomadic Research Labs |
|
![]() | A
new data-collection project is about to land here, inspired by the
vision of waves of information flowing outward from our tiny vessels as
they meander slowly around the globe. This will include not only streaming environmental telemetry (with an open protocol to allow others to contribute), but a database of anecdotal and photographic evidence that documents accelerating climate change. During the voyages of Nomadness and other vessels in the loosely linked flotilla of technomads, this site will be the repository of all environment-related information... including the source material for a book. Please check back occasionally for updates between now and the time this site goes live. At the moment (November 2006) I am focused on ship system and packaging projects; as departure draws near, my attention will turn to the "back end servers" that provide our various public interfaces... bloggish tales, environmental telemetry, ship virtual console, podcasts, and the extensive series of interviews related to my primary research mission. In the meantime, more frequent news updates (typically one or two a week) may be found on my live page. Fair winds, Steve |
