These are a few of my favorite things

Tech Tattoos, bidding for rent, what it is like in a self-driving Uber...[videos]

Hi you all

So here we are in the home stretch of 2016.. can you believe it. All the companies I work with are gearing up for 2017. The world is still changing (the nerve ;) ), and we need to be ever more flexible.

'Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be broken.'

Here are this week's three. Hope they spark some inspiration.

Have a good one.

1. Tech Tattoos

MIT and Microsoft showed a smart tattoo recently that can turn your skin into a touchpad to control your phone or whatever. Duo Skin is created with common gold leaf, for its conductivity and flexibility. The tattoos can function as input or output devices.

2. House Me

Currently in the Western Cape House me is a rental service that is set to disrupt the industry. They offer verified accommodation (so you actually get what is in the pictures)  to tenants and, wait for it, a bidding system for landlords (so you'll always get the highest rent). How cool is that?

3. Taking a ride in a self-driving Uber

Another disrupter, Uber launched its first self driving cars in Pittsburgh. Driverless cars are coming, one way or the other and will transform the way we move.
