  • The Rise and Fall of IoT?
    The Internet of Things (IoT) is a relatively new term and a lot of people
    have jumped on the bandwagon calling new devices “smart.” But what makes a
    device smart? And is that even the correct term?

  • Engineering from the Very Beginning
    As is customary this time of year, we often think about goals and

    time to be or feel united, avoid hard feelings, increase buy-in, etc. But
