Tonight was Midsummer. This is an important date here in Finland, as it is the start of summer. For me, it is the 5th time that I celebrate this fantastic day in Helsinki. It is still incredible to experience how there exists no night on that part of the year. Have a great summer!

Each innovation started once with a smart invention. This small seed can grow into a successful product, provided there are the right circumstances. One aspect is the protection of the intellectual property of the invention so that it can be defended against competitors. Therefore, I’m glad that there is an efficient process to obtain this protection.…

What is That was a question that I recently saw on YouTube, but the answer is quite obvious if you remember that 100 % is just equal to 1. Here, I would like to do the same with the decibel. That unit also describes a ratio. 0 dB is again equal to 1, so that…

Breadboards are great and easy to understand. You just insert your components, make the proper connection with jumper cables, and you will find out if your prototype is working. When I was young, I decommissioned a few old computers and scraped their parts. From that moment, I had several IDE (PATA) cables lying around, which…

I’ve crossed the recently opened Kruunuvuorensilta—the longest bridge in Finland at this time. Looking from a distance, it is just an impressive agglomeration of steel and concrete.

I have finally completed all 6 masterclasses from The Engineering EEcosystem. The masterclasses contain very valuable information. Eric Bogatin is great at explaining electrodynamics from a practical perspective without going into Maxwell’s equations. I really enjoyed his style of teaching. Now I even remember Eric’s famous rule #9 and that the answer to all questions…

Ich lese gerade das Buch “Feiere deine Vielseitigkeit!: Das Tausendsassa-Prinzip für Klarheit, Erfüllung und Erfolg im Job” von Prof. Dr. Sarah Gierhan und Eva Henseler. Danke, dass ihr dieses schöne Buch für Tausendsassa geschrieben habt. Tausendsassa sind Multitalente, die vielfältige Interessen haben. Diese Vielfalt muss sich natürlich auch im Beruf wiederfinden. In dieser Hinsicht bin ich froh,…

I’m a huge fan of the #RP2040 microcontroller. It is a powerhouse with a decent price tag and has excellent community support. Yesterday, I tested a firmware prototype. Nothing serious, just switching a few outputs controlled by an interrupt. The idea seemed easy; I know that it is possible from the datasheet, and I got…
