In the second part of this series I want to introduce you to the huge ecosystem of spatial objects, their implementation in R, and how to display them in the most convenient way. The internal representation of spatial objects in... Continue Reading →
Thanks to loads of publicly available data it's possible to get further insight into the past and current state of the world, as well as possible future perspectives. May it be for professional reasons as a data scientist or... Continue Reading →

In this final part of the Mensacard hack trilogy, I will present the results of the Cordova app and use an Arduino NFC shield to read the cards information. To make a long story short, it's not trivial to access... Continue Reading →
Computational skills are something almost every scientist has to offer nowadays. But unfortunately the least of us are actually trained in it. So most colleges (including me) took the autodidactic approach, a long road full of detours and wasted effort.... Continue Reading →
In a nutshell In this post unfortunately I will not be able to tell you more exciting stuff about the card itself nor about the app reading/writing it. Instead I will provide you with some insights into the Cordova-based framework... Continue Reading →
In this little series I will try to duplicate the RFID based card of my local cafeteria. On the way I will explore many nice tools and frameworks like the Android SDK, Apache Cordova, JavaScript based app programming, NFC/RFID technology,... Continue Reading →
In my first blog post I will cover my R package vasp2R I finished polishing just yesterday. It is about my endeavors to create some neat plots of the results obtained using the proprietary DFT program VASP one and a... Continue Reading →
