    “The job right now isn’t to make IoT easy. It’s to make it work”.  As I look across the Heli­um ecosys­tem in ear­ly Decem­ber of 2022, I’m start­ing to see the emer­gence of work­ing busi­ness­es built on Heli­um. Baxus may be the most recent exam­ple; a com­pa­ny track­ing all the con­di­tions of items as they move…

    On Nov 2nd, my bride Lee & I set off to 4 cities in Europe to con­duct a Heli­um Foun­da­tion project called “Heli­um In The Wild” with three goals.  First, to see how Heli­um was being used in the wild. Obvi­ous­ly sen­sor usage isn’t huge yet, and lots of b.s. has been thrown around the inter­we­bz…

    Gath­er­ing togeth­er blockchain + meat­space as well as oth­er rel­e­vant deals here. In some cas­es the links are affil­i­ate links, so I’ll earn a small com­mis­sion if you use ’em. That seems fair to me, but you can always just Google the project and “Black Fri­day” and find ’em your­self as well. If you know…

    Threw an audi­ble on this one after our sched­ule guest called in sick and end­ed up with a rad call. The video for­mat is a square (unusu­al) because I shared Kev­in’s fly­er, which threw off the whole ratio.
