On Tuesday, when I speak to our next Boston/New England IoT Meetup on the issue of “human communications and the IoT” one of the concepts I’ll be focusing on is what Chris Rezendes of INEX […]
Great Podcast Discussion of #IoT Strategy With Old Friend Jason Daniels
Right after I submitted my final manuscript for The Future is Smart I had a chance to spend an hour with old friend Jason Daniels (we collaborated on a series of “21st Century Homeland Security Tips You Won’t Hear From Officials” videos back when I was a homeland security theorist) on his “Studio @ 50 […]
Servitization With IoT: Weird Biz-Speak, But Sound Strategy
I love it when manufacturers stop selling things — and their revenues soar!
That’s one of the things I’ll cover on May 2nd in”Define Your Breakout IoT” strategy, (sign-up) a webinar I’m doing with Mendix. I’ll outline an incremental approach to the IoT in which you can make some early, tentative steps (such as implementing Augury’s […]
Another Personal IoT Story: my next car will have auto braking
Sorry to burden you with another personal Internet of Things story, especially since this one’s nowhere near as nice as how smart sockets made peace in my house!

Libelium’s Alicia Asín Pérez: crafting an IoT leader from the ground up!
Any time you run into a leading IoT engineer who says she draws inspiration from the early NYC skyscrapers (Why? “..Most of them were built during the Great Depression and make me think that in big crisis like the one we are living there are also the greatest opportunities for creating amazing things.”) you know […]

IoT-based “Regulation 3.0” Might Have Avoided Merrimack Valley Tragedies
Pardon me: this is a very personal post.
For about an hour Thursday night we didn’t know whether my son’s home in Lawrence was one of those blown up by the gasline explosions (fortunately, he and his dear family were never at risk — they’re living in Bolivia for two years — but the house was right […]
Mycroft Brings Open-Source Revolution to Home Assistants
Brilliant! Crowd-funded (even better!) Mycroft brings the rich potential of open-source to the growing field of digital home assistants. I suspect it won’t be long until it claims a major part of the field, because the Mycroft platform can evolve and grow exponentially by capitalizing on the contributions of many, many people, not unlike […]
Human Side of IoT: Local Startup Empowers Forgotten Shop Floor Workers!
Let’s not forget: human workers can and must still pay a role in the IoT!
Sure, the vast majority of IoT focus is on large-scale precision and automated manufacturing (Industrie 4.0 as it is known in Germany, or the Industrial Internet here). However, an ingenious local startup, Tulip, is bringing IoT tools to the workbench and […]
