LinkedIn: The Science of Push

Probably not the final cover, this is a Photoshop edit with Gemini background.

Probably one of the most nerve wracking things I have ever done is made this post. It was in my “drafts” for a while, the post went through a bunch of variations and changes, but “promoting” myself is something I have never enjoyed doing. How do you share something you have spent a considerable amount of time and passion on, without sounding arrogant. How do you share something in today’s age, without it sounding like it was created by AI, or is it even relevant if it was, or in some peoples eyes, wasn’t? Never the less, I hit the share button and basically nothing happened, which is what I was hoping. My plan was always to simply stake a claim. Put it out there to the world I had done this research and think it would be valuable to share. It was also a line in the sand for me to move my ass and get this thing completed … hopefully it does not take six more years to get it there. read more

Inspired: Gemini Carbon Products

It’s no secret I am amazed with the innovative manufacturing of Carbon Fiber. Growing up as a F1 fan, I have drooled over high the high tech elements which is the foundation of Aerospace and racing. Spending some time over the past couple of years doing some hobby/DIY projects has further inflated my passion because I am slowly learning the intricacies, time and effort it takes to make something as simple as a 2D computer mount.

On my adventures into learning more about composites I have come across a few people and companies I aspired to be like one day, not all about high-tech or huge profits, but also about creative marketing and unique engineering solutions. One of the is Gemini, a small CF company out of Barcelona, Spain who produce some beautiful products in cycling. read more

LinkedIn: Mobile & Agentic AI

paschmann

Seeing all these posts about #SAP hashtag#TechEd makes me think …. remember when mobile access was a “nice-to-have” for select employees? Road Warriors, C-Suite, Field Techs …

Those days are over.

As we enter the era of agentic AI, every employee is becoming an orchestrator … managing teams of AI agents, approving tasks, and overseeing processes that never sleep. The definition of productivity now means directing AI operations, not just GSD. These processes don’t wait for you to return to your desk.

Enterprise mobility isn’t about convenience anymore—it’s about keeping pace with AI-speed business.

The question isn’t whether to invest in this trend. It’s whether you can afford not to.

What’s your organization doing to prepare for this shift?

Cycling CdA Analyzer

paschmann

I’ve been a BestBikeSplit user for years now. It’s been great for predicting race times and power requirements beforehand, and for analyzing my CdA after races. But at $20 per month, the cost started to feel steep for how often I actually used it.
That’s when I decided to create my own version using Claude. The project works surprisingly well, with results that match up closely with other paid subscription tools.

Check it out on Github here:

Revopoint Inspire 2 – 3D Scanner

paschmann

3D scanner has intrigued me for a couple of years. The lure of being able to quickly and easily recreate something from a physical scan seems like the holy grail of self sufficiency and reducing your reliance on manufacturing or availability. 1.) With a couple of bike related projects that I want to tackle, 2.) the prices of the devices falling easily with the reach of consumers and 3.) the reasonable accuracy you get thanks to the underlying technology – it seems like it was the right time to get started.

Firstly – the device has been awesome, doing exactly what I anticipated and expected. Albeit a slightly cumbersome and slow learning process to understand the nuances of these devices. It is not the technology but rather the workflows involved to turn a “simple” scan, into a “simple” digital representation. There are a variety of steps in different tools and software, and the reality is that, as always, the devil is in the details. read more
