An interesting timeline showing the S&P 500 index and various innovations. Obviously there may or may not be any correlation between the two, but as always, correlation does not always imply causation.

2023 SAP Mobile Summit
After giving my presentation on how we implemented and used LLM (Large Language Models) in our internal mobile apps at SAP, the team sent a small token of their appreciation. Sometimes thoughtful gifts, handwritten letters or just calls to say thanks go further than a financial gesture.
Raspberry Pi 3
One of the main reasons I got purchased a Raspberry Pi (3B) a while back was for running RetroPie. It’s awesome to play nostalgic NES, Gameboy Titles on the TV.
Some of my favorite include Tetris on NES, Super Mario 3 on Gameboy and Tetris on Gameboy.
Implementing LLMs in our internal mobile apps: Design, Demos, and Deployment
This is a summary/blog of my presentation which I recently gave internally at SAP during the One SAP Mobile Summit. The event brings some of the best and likeminded SAP mobility related groups and teams together during a week long, in-person, and virtual summit.
One-SAP-Mobile-Summit-LLMsDownloadThis is another blog post of a series around the enterprise mobility IT team at SAP. We are an internal team focused on managing mobile devices, mobile applications, and developing custom apps for SAP’s 110,000 employees. I believe we have some unique stories, software, tools, and insights to help others in the community considering, or currently undertaking, some of the challenges which surround mobility and its adoption in the enterprise. As an SAP champion, I enjoy sharing and promoting my experiences and knowledge with others through the SAP Community, if you enjoy this post, check out some of my past content.

Widgets & iOS 17 Sonoma
I am a huge fan of this underrated and probably under utilized feature of macOS Sonoma. Having the opportunity to glance at my widgets while I am on my Mac is really nice interaction pattern.
OKR’s, Initiatives and Examples
Initiatives and OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are both strategic management frameworks, but they differ in their focus and purpose within an organization.
Initiatives:
Initiatives are specific projects, programs, or actions that are undertaken to achieve a desired outcome. They are concrete and actionable steps that contribute to the fulfillment of broader objectives. Initiatives can be short-term or long-term and are often cross-functional, requiring collaboration and coordination among different teams or departments. Initiatives provide a structured approach to implementing strategies and achieving organizational goals.
OKRs:
OKRs, on the other hand, are a goal-setting framework that helps define and measure objectives and their key results. Objectives represent the desired outcomes or goals that an organization or team aims to achieve. Key Results are measurable milestones or metrics that indicate progress towards the objectives. OKRs are typically set on a quarterly basis and are designed to align and focus teams, providing clarity on what needs to be accomplished and how progress will be measured.

How much does an app cost?
Being an app developer, friends, family and co-workers often ask the question, how much does an app cost? This is a nice breakdown from Couchbase on the elements, stages and how long each stage of the development lifecycle takes, which helps with cost estimates.
