About

As a UI/UX designer by trade, I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context. Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy. So in short... Exploring how technology impacts our lives.

How My Geothermal Heat Pump Really Performed (2 Years). Go to https://surfshark.com/undecided or use code UNDECIDED at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN! I’ve had my geothermal heat pump for the past two years now. It’s been helping me to reach my net zero energy goals in my new house. But getting it installed meant drilling a 400-foot-deep well in my backyard, running a cooling loop into the house through the foundation, and getting everything hooked up inside the house. It’s a little more complicated than your standard air source heat pump setup … and a lot more expensive, too. But was it worth it? I’ve learned a lot over the past two years, and I’ve collected a bunch of data, too. So what can you take away from my experience? And is there anything I’d change if I had it to do over again? Let’s dig into it.
