Best book I have read in the last 10 yrs?

It  was more useful for me than the ones about W Buffet.

Though those were excellent.

This one

Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation

2010

ISBN 978-1-59448-771-2

Innovation

Kirkus Reviews called Good Ideas a "robust volume that brings new perspective to an old subject" and said of Johnson, "Throughout, his infectious enthusiasm and unyielding insight inspire and entertain."^[14] The Sunday Telegraph said, "Like all good ideas, this book is bigger than the sum of its parts... Johnson enlivens his argument with stories and examples that bring personality and depth to his ideas, and make for an engaging read..."^[15]



So I have read that book enough that I have chosen to use it as a sort of guidebook for the evolution of the Sensors, fusion, devices.

I use his phrases in this blog; adjacent possible, parts on the bench, coffee houses.  Coral reefs?

They are used in his book because

Coral Reefs – An Important Part of Our Future

Spanish hogfish at reef.

If you have ever visited a coral reef, you probably were struck by its beauty, diversity, and many colorful inhabitants. Even though



 coral reefs cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, they support an estimated 25 percent of all marine life, with more than 4,000 species of fish alone. In fact, coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with thousands of species relying on reefs for survival.






They also serve as important sources of food, income, protection, and new medicines for mankind.

helped me to consider ecology more, but it fits into this blog as to the concept of an ecosystem.The coral reef can be a model of the amazing diversity and abundance ( Yes, I read that book too) that happens when everything exists all in one place.  Isolation doesn't get you much.  Look at the new dots we have in our ecosystem...

PEEL,  QUIK may not have known until a few wks after their mention that they would get 50 Million from Alibaba and speak clearly they are using the $$ for expansion into China and they want to be like Nest and control the home. Now they are in demand and will give one of the keynotes in Feb at MWC.

Nordic for the

Quick Logic TAG-N Wearble Sensor Hub for nRF51 Series

Feed the processed sensor data in a wearable to the bigger compute power  available in the data centers to get you  something back

Those are ecosystem items.

QUIK is in the Coral reef of sensors and fusion and things are just as alive for them and everyone involved that it is an apt metaphor. We will get more in '15.

Where...Indoor location will be a LOT of fun to learn more about.

Is this priced into the stock currently?

No.

What will it take?

Someone bigger in the coral reef, a known name, here is a snip of text on coral reefs...

The islands and reefs in the Northwest beyond Kaui are too small (though Midway briefly had a dive tourism operation).  As it turns out, they are virtually swarming with big fish compared to the main Hawaiian Islands.  The most common big fish there is giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis), which reaches 1.7 meters  in length (5 feet) and an impressive 68 kg (150 pounds) maximum.  But there are also lots of sharks such as grey reef sharks and Galapagos sharks.  These big predator fish are called “apex predators” because they are at the apex of the food chain.  Amazingly, they compose around half of all the weight (“biomass”) of all the reef fish on these reefs (Birkeland and Friedlander, 2001).

Comes along and does something cool with the bits and parts that QUIK has in the ecosystem.  The PEEL bit, or the  TAG-N Wearble  part.  PEEL may take us into China one day.  Noridic Tag-N all kinds of diverse objects are now possible. It's also the explanation, that as much as I want us to ramp into the Samsung ecosystem the coral reef is so rich that there is a lot of other stuff going on too.

Indoor location?

I track that one close as I can as it's BIGGER than most others. It's definitely a coral reef sort of ecosystem; Very few have ALL the bits and pieces it takes to get it done- there will be collaborations.  It will be fun to read one day who QUIK has in the Indoor location application solution ecosystem.  A complete solution here will include  the

biggest names in the business.

QUIK< thanks in advance for working overtime on Indoor location.  The most accurate step counter is a nice building block for this, the new in elevator, climbing step context may help too.
