Had an inspiring and informative evening at the Tokyo Hackerspace tonight. Long discussion on radiation (not surprisingly) and introduction to the great citizen effort to provide independent and trustworthy info on radiation across the areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. These weatherproof, GPS equipped radiation measuring devices made at the Hackerspace can be fitted to cars, taking geotagged measurements as volunteers drive around all of Kanto and eastern Tohoku. Readings are collected and visualized at safecast.org providing anyone with information on the actual situation on the ground in Japan.
