Jacob here again to fill everyone on my recent escapades and deep thoughts. I can’t promise the latter, but here’s what I’ve been up to: At Voxpop, I’m taking on more responsibility. I’d say it’s hit and miss. While sometimes I’m completing tasks correctly (10/10) other times I’m more like a 4/10 on the ‘intern success-o-meter’. If you want the [...]

It wasn’t hard to do, because SendMe Mobile’s revenues are totally marketing driven through what Kwedit CEO Danny Shader calls indirect sales. This means that everything I do at [...]

I’ve been working on some really interesting stuff at Valencell; including learning and understanding their special protocol and API to interface with the Health Set hardware. The original goal of the project was just for me to port the existing functionality of their Windows Mobile application to the Android platform. Things have been progressing very [...]
