Travel: Germany
A short trip to Germany for Work. A easy run in Frankfurt with a few sights and a quick stop in Speyer after a suggestion from one of my colleagues.

LinkedIn: Audrey AK!13
As Audrey Chanakira wraps up her AK!13 internship with our team at SAP, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible impact she’s made.
Originally from Zimbabwe, Audrey joined us through the AFRIKA KOMMT! fellowship program and quickly became a valued member of our team. Her curiosity, professionalism, and collaborative spirit enriched our work and brought fresh perspective to everything she touched.
Audrey’s contributions have left a lasting impression, and we’re grateful for the time we had together.
Thank you, Audrey Chanakira — it’s been a pleasure working with you!

AI Data Crisis and Failed Markets
This is a nice short paper/read on how (relatively) small the training data for AI systems are, and due to data moats and hoarding, advances in AI models may start to become limited.
When a data owner shares a piece of data, the owner loses all control over how it will be used, copied, and shared further. When the owner sells a piece of data, they don’t sell the original data — they sell a copy. When a dataset is copied, the global supply goes up, the price goes down, and every customer becomes a competitor for the future sale and use of that data.
This is a nice paper covering this topic and other elements of the AI data crisis.
Open Source: FitIndex to FitBit (For Garmin Connect)
I got tired of being locked into FitIndex’s ecosystem when I wanted to move my weight tracking data to Garmin Connect. Their CSV export format doesn’t play nicely with other platforms, so I built (Thanks Claude Code!) a simple Node.js converter that transforms FitIndex exports into Fitbit’s CSV format (which most fitness platforms actually support). It handles the timestamp conversion, cleans up the data, and spits out a file you can import anywhere. Nothing fancy, just solves the annoying problem of data portability between fitness apps.
GitHub – paschmann/FitIndexToFitBit: Small Node.js application which converts FitIndex export files (CSV) to FitBit files which can then be uploaded to Garmin Connect.
DIY: 3D Print – Speedmax Frame Insert
Another “fun”ctional 3D print for the Canyon Speedmax – there is a small cavity in the frame where the water bladder is inserted, if you dont use the bladder, this frame insert can hold some tools/tubes or small parts you may need during your ride. Its not a huge amount of space, but enough to be useful.
