Yesterday afternoon I attached a floating ergometer of my own design before heading into the lake. There I performed a series of controlled experiments, reporting the results back through a wimax network I setup for this purpose. The results were analyzed the CDC and compared with those of 47 volunteers I had acting as experimental controls at spots at various latitudes (or possibly longitudes) in order to counter the gravitational effect of the moon. I ten wrote up my results and published them in this blog post.

I will report soon on a second round of experiments done in low earth orbit.
