[off topic] Project Bluebird and methane and flying cows

[gusgonnet]

Hey, I was reading this post from @Darmitage :

Particle Mesh Schematics

I went ahead and used the attached pinout (Xenon … consistent with the Feather specs). Today I finished laying out and ordered the first batch of Boron boards for Project Bluebird in eager anticipation. The Eagle Feather part library was elusive. Adafruit has a Github repo, but it only contained a part for the Feather Wings with pinouts that were a bit convoluted. Finger’s crossed that Particle.io will put up some proper Eagle parts soon… [Xenon-pinout-lock]

First, my modest opinion on it:
Impressive and great work!

This project connected somehow to something I read before from @billGates (wait, what? he's not using Particle products yet? too bad for him). This one:

Climate change and the 75% problem

where he goes to mention that methane pollution coming from cattle is something to consider.
Look at this!

Those inoffensive animals rank 3rd (well, not exactly because of them, but because how we "use" them). I get now why all those people wanting to eat more plants and less meat fight that fight.

All to say, since Project Bluebird monitors methane, it may have other applications besides oil/gas well monitoring. And all to say that I wanted to talk about Project Bluebird.
Very nice presentation on their web site, catchy for sure:

FYI @RWB @overcode

Anyway, David, I just felt like posting a link my mind made here. Other than that, nice Losant chars you guys created.
Cheers,
Gustavo.

Thank you for this shout out @gusgonnet and the link to the Bill Gates article. I finally took the time to create a Losant ‘Experience’. Just a first baby step for Project Bluebird (aka Project Canary…I am in the process of rebranding).

You can see my first pass at the dashboard here. Getting a handle on methane emissions regardless of source is critical if we are going to save this fragile spaceship of ours.
