Evolution of Electric and Hybrid Cars Some time ago I visited a private automobile museum in The Netherlands, together with our chairman Julf Helsingius; himself a collector of rare Land Rovers. Seeing how a single patron had preserved the history of the automobile industry was one thing, but those electric, gas and hybrid car models […]
5G and the Governor of Your Business – Network equipment vendors and telecom operators alike are now painting futuristic visions on how their soon-to-be-deployed 5G networks will transform our cities, healthcare, mobility, manufacturing and many other areas. While the 3 to 4G migration is still ongoing in many places, shareholders and telecom executives bet on […]
Embark on a transformative journey across the seas with the advent of smart sails in shipping. Witness the sustainable evolution of maritime transportation as innovative spime technology not only optimizes fuel efficiency but also paves the way for a future where ships become autonomous entities, guided by precision and real-time data.

During the year-end holidays I completed the Ohan4, the fourth BaseN nDrone prototype. Unlike Ohan1-3, the Ohan4 was a miniature tricopter design, with a single, servo-tilting rear motor and 12 centimeter propellers. Nevertheless, it sported a powerful STM32F7 flight controller and a Raspberry Pi Zero W as the spime-enabling secondary computer. With the miniature design, […]
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to visit Cargotec Kalmar’s ‘harbor on a dry land’ near Tampere, Finland. The site is one of their R&D hubs, with all their cargo-moving and lifting products being tested in a very real environment. Most of their special cargo-moving vehicles are already fully digitalized and capable of […]
A few years back I decided to build a mobile sauna & pool with my brother. Although it may sound like a seriously non-digital asset, I ended up equipping it with a 4G connection, car-independent battery, 200W solar panel, led convenience lighting, temperature sensors, door locking indicators, GPS and a small internal display. Lights are […]
As our shareholders arrived to our general meeting to appoint a new board member, I had a chat with one of our original team members about self driving cars. Just a month ago I had a chance to see Google’s Waymo and a couple of other autonomous driving initiatives in Silicon Valley. The Waymo is […]
Softbank, the Japanese telecom/everything provider with its 30 year business plan and 300 year strategy, recently acquired ARM Holdings with a record sum of 24 billion pounds. Not all investors were thrilled, but I think that the move is very logical, what comes to Softbank’s vision of becoming a global ‘Everything-as-a-Service’ provider. Chances are you’re not that familiar […]
A couple of weeks ago we accidentally run into an interesting, albeit failed project, which aimed to digitalize beekeeping. Honey-producing bees are very sensitive what comes to their environment, meaning temperature, humidity and other parameters such as microparticle pollution and ambient noise levels. The disappearance of large swathes of bees around the world is still […]
I have been prescribed blood pressure medication for most of my adult life, starting in 1992 when I was in the military. My figures tended to hang around 150/90 (systole/diastole) which is considered to be risky what comes to cardiovascular health. Blood pressure medications work in many different ways, and occasionally the body finds a […]
