Smart City Building with Huawei - IoT.do

CommunicAsia2015 Summit speaker and exhibitor Huawei shares how innovation and technology are driving the Smart City reality

What do you envision when you think of Smart Cities? While flying cars, holographic communication screens, or even teleportation seem far-fetched, the hyper-connectedness of today’s world and the Internet of Things (IoT) is making Smart City living a reality. Huawei, leading ICT solutions provider, sees the following four areas of opportunities where technology and innovation play a key role in the building of smarter cities.

Why Women of Silicon Valley? 

“I want women who are sitting on the fence about Computer Science to get as inspired as I was by these role models, and hopefully, to see that at its heart tech is exciting, immensely powerful and so, so worth it.”

The Hackathon Fast Track, From Campus to Silicon Valley

Hackathons, in which student teams attempt to build a new piece of tech, showcase some of the best upstart programmers and have become a focal point for recruiting.

With another IoT Roadshow hackathon weekend half-way done, it’s interesting to watch this entire space to see from where some of the so-called “Things” will come.

Arduino Announces New Brand, Genuino, Manufacturing Partnership with Adafruit | Make:

Through a U.S. manufacturing partnership with Adafruit and the launch of a new global sister brand called Genuino, Arduino.cc today announces a couple of big moves that address the manufacturing challenges that have emerged for the company over the past few months. Much of 2015 has seen the open-source board …

Part cheeky, part serious business, this is one way to support Arduino.cc

[danielhugo4004]

Always nice to see advancement of an open source project as important as this one!

Did you know that as of Arduino IDE Release 1.6.2, support for Intel Galileo and Intel Edison boards is available in the mainline IDE from Arduino? Thanks to hard work from Cristian and Federico in Torino and Dino, Calvin, Manoel and Krzyzstof in San Diego (my colleagues at Intel), you no longer have to find a “special” version of the IDE to build your sketches on our boards. A better user experience! Be sure and add the cores (the toolchains and other specific components) in the Board Manager in your Arduino IDE!

Interesting week...

Out and about for the week, I was able to attend the IoT Roadshow at the Impact Hub in Manhattan and spent quite a few hours helping some hackers get it done with our Intel Edison. 

Then a quick trip across the country to San Francisco for IoT World at Moscone West, wherein we all spoke a lot about this Internet of Things that seems to be a big giant unknown. Samsung was next door to the Intel booth with their new Artik products, and the $9 Kickstarter Computer is definitely generating some buzz.

Then to Maker Faire Bay Area for the weekend, where I had many opportunities to interact with kids of all ages and adults of even more ages. Some shy away from the crowds at Maker Faire, but I actually enjoy getting to meet people who haven’t yet jumped in to the hacking side, who are still looking in from the outside so to speak. Maybe the Intel name will help them take the plunge into waters that might seem familiar? 

On to a Kickstarter Hackathon in Brooklyn on 23 and 24 May, maybe I’ll see you there...

Our friends at Arduino.cc continue to make waves in the Maker world!

Getstarted

I am normally active online under my day-to-day name, DanHugo, but when I started with Intel back in February 2014 I was given credentials based on my full name. At first that was a little strange, but then I figured I could keep my professional online presence while I work with Intel separated from my personal online presence, and so the “DanielHugo4004″ name was born. 

The 4004 part is an homage to Intel’s first CPU, and I think plain old DanielHugo was already taken anyway, so here we are.

As I type this I am a software architect and technical liaison with Intel in what used to be called the New Devices Group (now the New Technologies Group). If you saw the Intel Edison announced at CES 2014, that is an NDG/NTG product, and in fact that is one of the things I work on. I spent five weeks in Ireland working with the team that developed Galileo in record time, and then a couple of weeks in Toulouse to work with the Edison team. 

Presently I spend a great deal of time traveling to and helping out at hackathons. I’ve been to several, and lately I’ve come to realize that in the case of the 24-36 hour events, the really interesting or weird things happen after midnight... so I’ve somehow managed to stay up for 40 hours at my last two events, and I usually end up learning something interesting in those wee hours. Good times.

I’m planning to use this tumblr to keep links, an occasional pic, or whatever. Not really long form stuff, and as far as source code and project stuff I have a github account, an instructables account, a hackster.io account, twitter, instagram... basically the plan is to post random pics and useful bits away from my usual personal presence, and so it shall go.
