As you may be aware, I sent updates of this site out by email. Since the very start I've used Convertkit for this, but this was getting too expensive. However, it was the only email service I found that will immediately send an email instead of on a schedule. So, I had to automate this.

Google acquired Fabric, Mozilla unveiled a new logo, and Cloudflare opens up about their fight against gag orders.

More information about the Nintendo Switch, some quick thoughts about Atlassian's acquisition of Trello, and Chris Lattner's move to Tesla.

Alexa was everywhere at CES, Medium is changing things around, Bitbucket Pipelines introduces some nice features, and I have a look back at how the site did in 2016.

Christmas time is always a slump when it comes to news in the tech world. So, this week we've got some new things and a bit older news I didn't get around to including before. This includes the Go font, and the rest is focused on Docker news.

AWS opened 2 new regions, and that prompted me to see how this compares to both Azure and Google Cloud. Microsoft announces the Cortana SDK for speakers, and Fitbit bought Pebble.

There have been quite a few announcements lately regarding machine learning, so I try to give an overview of the ones that caught my attention. And Hyperdev has been rebranded and extended into Gomix.

Re:Invent 2016 took place last week, and AWS didn't disappoint in how much they released. I'll go through some of what I see as the highlights, but there is far too much to cover everything.

As I just returned from a holiday to China, I wanted to share some of my observations about technology there. This is only meant as a general overview and is completely based on what I saw around me.

With several major hardware releases in the last week, that is what I'll focus on. Apple (finally) updated their Macbook Pros with a touch bar and, possibly more interesting, Microsoft introduced a completely new input device to match their new desktop.

The Internet of Things attacked a major DNS node, Nintendo announced its new console, and VMWare will run on AWS.

More IoT stuff, the release of Yarn, and the chatbot competition results.

It's been a busy week, with lots of things to talk about. In order not to make this note too long though, I'll therefore limit myself to Google's hardware announcements.

Botnets are making use of the Internet of Things, Windows runs on Docker running on Windows, and new attempts to make AI seem like a good thing.

Almost 2 months ago, AWS announced a serverless chatbot competition. As I happen to have one of those lying around I decided to enter this competition.
