Thanks to @justinmassa for sharing his work/ideas at Shadelab's lunchtime Smartluck,a thinking/doing potluck for accomplishing great things.

Headed to the store for materials to make a 2ft nose to house the #airquality sensor on our neighborhood satellite. Test launch today!

Today we recorded the highest temp so far. The slide in the playground was 110°F and the ground was 120°F! http://twitpic.com/2b1sdg

Headed out to Von Humboldt Elementary to meet w/the Principal + talk about how the school is the hottest place on the block.

What is a city Senspod? http://shadelab.landonbonebaker.com/journal/what-is-the-city-senspod/

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

Awesome. It isn't exactly pretty but Patrick has our first Arduino #airquality sensor up + running! http://tweetphoto.com/35635668

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

Earthbound today:Headed out w/our new homemade 6ft tall thermometers to map temps at the hottest place on the block-the elementary school.

Yahoo!The components have arrived for making our own mobile Arduino neighborhood #airquality sensors.Let the soldering + programming begin.

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

We lifted up our camera using three gigantic balloons and recorded more than 30 seconds of awesome footage!

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

WOW!Despite the 36inch balloon being only 30inches,it lifts 6.2 oz!Taking off isn't going to be a prob today. http://twitpic.com/29h1s5

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

Wow,the 36 inch balloons have way more lift than the standard balloons we used on Mon-everyone in the office is utterly transfixed.

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

The helium tank has arrived!As well as new assortment of balloon sizes + types for prototyping our neighborhood #airquality satellites today

[Public Workshop @publicworkshop]

So excited for today: AM-Round 2 of prototyping neighborhood air quality satellites w/the Shadelab interns..umm,we now own a tank of helium

Turning over 100 tiny pieces into the most amazing environmental sensor ever made at Landon Bone Baker by Patrick! http://twitpic.com/298u8o

[Shadelab @Shadelab]

We're getting ready to meet with the Alderman Maldonado at noon, how exciting!

Testing how much weight the balloons can hold for our super fun experiment! http://www.flickr.com/photos/brendagamboa/4832719862/
