I think I’ll start doing a weekly digest where I dump most cool/useful things I’ve seen this week, and that are somewhat relevant to my work / projects. In parallel, I’ll try to blog more in detail about some of the that are much more interesting to me.
BLOGS – Blag’s best blog picks from 2007. Blag is an ABAP developer, and he puts here lots of good links he found out last year about programming ABAP, and other SAP-related stuff.

MOBILE – modu teases us with some totally viral video, but the idea goes towards the funky mobile phone that plugs in here, and there, and acts as mobile payment, authentication, key, and yes, mobile phone. Check it out! Also, Skyhook Wireless announced their WiFi positioning system that will run on iPhones, and allow you to locate yourself in the maps application using data collected about neighboring WiFi hotspots.
WSN – Found a cool blog about WSN, even if it has some posts in chinese (a lot actually), there’s still some good information to be found in there. Else, highscalability is a good page that explains how to build mega scalable websites and what strategies were used by amazon, google, or youtube. Some companies I heard about this week, that build WSN stuff here, here, here, here. Also, check out some old research done at IBM in pervasive computing.
Okay, gotta sleep as I’m off for Japan tomorrow morning. I should be back on the 4th Feb. and then the 5th I’ll jump for Geneva for LIFT, look forward to it! And don’t forget to subscribe to my workshop (see some earlier posts).
