Over the weekend I realized I have become English. No, I haven’t picked up the accent. Nor do I eat Marmite. Actually eating Marmite can be relegated to one of those things I’d never do. Never, ever. So why have I become English? I tend to discuss the weather and temperature … Read More

As I mentioned in my previous blog, much confusion exists around terminology. I think this is especially true when we speak of recipes and packages in the Yocto context. In the early days of Open Embedded (OE) , on which Yocto is based, there was a very simple relationship between recipes and packages. The relationship is still a close one, but it has become more complicated, as everything does over … Read More
It stands to reason that range anxiety would lessen – at least a little – among current and prospective owners of electric vehicles (EV) if charging stations were ubiquitous as gas stations are today. Since they are not, there is value in the ability to locate charging stations and reserve time on them via smartphone.
At the SAE World Congress, GE Energy Industrial Solutions introduced WattStation™, … Read More

The Boeing Company, perhaps contrary to popular belief, did not quickly or easily skyrocket to top of the aviation market; in fact, the company suffered several significant setbacks that would have caused many to throw up their hands and close their doors. Founder William Boeing would not be dissuaded or deterred, however.
In 1923, The Boeing Company started to turn around and began its transformation … Read More

Energy is the current revolution. We have all become accustomed to the use of a lot of energy in our daily lives. I write this blog while sitting in my local BMW dealership, surrounded by nice new shiny cars that consume lots of gasoline. The technology in these cars today though is incredible, with new cars each year achieving much higher level of efficiencies than ever before. It is still however … Read More

The Boeing Company, William Boeing, and Pilot Eddie Hibbard all solidified their place in history in 1919, delivering mail internationally between Canada and the U.S.—first while flying a Boeing C-700 and later a Boeing B-1.
The historic Boeing B-1 aircraft was partially constructed of wood laminate veneer, plywood, and spruce. When aviation geeks think of wood planes, Howard Hughes no doubt comes … Read More

I wrote before about my angle on presentation techniques. As I spend a lot of my time in front of an audience, I have given a lot of thought to how PowerPoint can be used as an effective tool for communication, instead of an instrument of torture.
I would like to share some more of those ideas with you today …
I have 3 tips to pass on in this posting. The first 2 are about starting the presentation … Read More

Believe it or not, summer is fast approaching. My daughter is looking forward to the summer break from school. My sons, being a bit older and each completing a couple of semesters of university studies, are facing a summer busy with research or employment. When they yearn for leisure days of summers past, I usually respond with “welcome to adulthood”.
The SystemVision crew is preparing … Read More

The Boeing Company was struggling after World War I, but Founder William Boeing and his management team pressed on, encouraging and funding the proactive research and development of many different commercial biplane designs. As it turns out, none of the new biplane designs ever made it into production. Not to be dissuaded by this unfortunate fact, Boeing continued to innovate and make history.
On 3 … Read More
