Learning Curves
19-November-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
This past week has been a cycle of 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward (hence the meandering graphic in the header image). I am getting a good feel for Hyperledger, but it is despite the tools that are needed for it. To learn it, I needed to install quite a few tools on my

Those who know me know that I take an End State Analysis view of system architecture. I like to look forward, in the early stages of the design cycle, at what I term “the eventual outcome,” or “final state.” I like to project far into the future what might be coming given the arrows of

Hyperledger, Part 1
3-November-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
As I get deeper into Project 52, I am taking on some bigger projects, projects that will span multiple weeks due to their size and complexity. This is such a week (Week 6). This week, I decided to start learning Hyperledger. I chose the header image to visually convey the size and complexity of Hyperledger and

21-October-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
I’m happy to announce that, after some time developing, I’m launching the Interactive Universal Club Application Simulator. I wrote a 5-part series on this concept last spring called The Virtualized Club, which you can find via the link. In a nutshell, there is no reason that a Club’s bespoke application cannot track your workouts at

It’s been a while since the last article was published. I’ve been hard at work developing a new feature called RT Interactive, and it is intended to be used to allow users to interact with simulations described in the articles herein. It’s taken a lot of work to develop the first one- developing interactive web

Sensored: Fusion
23-June-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
In the previous article, we talked about a number of sensors, but all of them were discussed using sensors a la carte- for a single purpose with a bespoke application. A few months back we lightly discussed sensor fusion in the Connected Gym, in Part 3 of that series. Now we will have a deeper

8-June-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
Sensors are everywhere, and in Part 1 of 2 of this short series, we will examine the a la carte use of wearable sensors. What this means it typically a sensor is provided by a company with a bespoke app to use it. Exceptions to that are heart rate straps (chest or arm), which are

In Part 4, we covered the Traveling scenario, following at the club, @Home and Outdoors. In this fifth, and final installment, we will discuss the Universal Club Application @Work. When we are not in a pandemic-induced lockdown, a lot of people work out at work. Many of the bigger employers have their own gyms. And

25-May-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
Years ago I installed my first Smart Home system. It was 2014, and I was preparing to speak at the Samsung Developer Conference about Smart Home of the Future. Samsung had just acquired SmartThings, so I bought a system and installed it. Overall, I definitely had a lot of fun with it. It was fun
