China T-Shirts

Maybe I was getting a little bored but I began to notice and photgraph the many varieties of English language t-shirts while in China this summer. Some are interesting, some are amusing and some...I don't know what they mean - enjoy!

Watching Humminbirds

You can watch hummingbirds via this link For a short time I have setup a motion sensor activated camera that will take pictures when the hummingbird is present.

Lake Level Monitor

I'm trying out an idea. I wanted to find a way to measure the lake level in real-time. Here's how it works. I use a range sensor, the kind that measures distance using an acoustic pulse (from Vernier). The sensor is mounted several feet above the lake and pointing down to the water surface. The range measurement to the surface tells you the lake level. I average several readings to try to smooth out the effects of waves.

The lake level is about normal level right now. Shorter readings indicate a rise in the lake level and longer readings a drop in the level. I wrote a gui in microsoft c# that takes the readings, plots a graph and sends it up to the web page server. Well, we'll see how it goes... See www.SebecLake.net for the chart.
