You either like me or you don’t. It took me twenty-something years to learn how to love myself, I don’t have that kinda time to convince somebody else.

thingful - Discover the Internet of Things

Thingful is a search engine for the Internet of Things, providing a geographical index of connected objects around the globe. Including energy, radiation, weather, and air quality devices as well as seismographs, iBeacons, ships, aircraft and even animal trackers. Nice!

Thingful’s powerful search capabilities enable people to find devices, datasets and realtime data sources by geolocation across many popular Internet of Things networks, and presents them using a proprietary patent-pending geospatial device data search ranking methodology, ThingRank®.

If you are concerned about asthma, find out about any air quality monitors in your neighbourhood; somebody working with a Raspberry Pi can find others round the corner using the same computing platform; if you notice a ship moored nearby, discover more about it by tracking it on Thingful, or get notified of its movements; a citizen concerned about flooding in a new neighbourhood can look up nearby flood monitors or find others that have been measuring radiation. You might even watch the weekly movements of a shark as it explores the oceans. The possibilities are unbounded!

The closest “things” to my hometown are one Raspberry Pi, two weather stations and one gamme radiation sensor. Well, no comparison to Berlin:

For those who can feel and use the power of their faith in God, nothing is impossible!

Faith helps...

The faith of every man, O Arjuna accords with his nature.  Man is made up of faith; as is his faith, so is he.  The threefold austerity practised with faith by men of balanced mind, without any expectation of reward is said to be pure.

Bhagwad Gita 17.3

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.

Where everyone in the world is migrating—in one gorgeous chart Nick Stockton, qz.com

It’s no secret that the world’s pop­u­la­tion is on the move, but it’s rare to get a glimpse of where that flow is hap­pen­ing. In a study released in today’s Sci­ence, a team of geo­g­ra­phers used data snap­shots to cre­ate a broad analy­sis of…

Ryan Betts, the CTO of VoltDB addressing an article by MongoDB’s CEO Max Schireson that seems to have stroken a chord:

Recently Max Schireson, CEO of MongoDB, shared his thoughts on relational databases. His statements deserve a direct and frank opposing response. Let’s walk through the myths that Mr. Schireson promoted.

Compared with PostgreSQL’s Robert Haas post “Why the clock is ticking for MongoDB“, this one makes some debatable arguments — e.g. “All popular SQL systems support document types”: aside for SOA committees and MarkLogic, I’ve never heard someone enjoying XML. They aren’t innaccurate, but they’re paiting VoltDB’s space in a too bright color palette.
