At the age of fifteen, Martijn Aslander — Lifehacking veteran, Co-founder at SHIFT and Lifehacking.nl — discovered that you can make money by doing the same stuff that he was doing at Scouts. By the age of seventeen Martijn was running a company of 60 people from the back of his classroom. At the age of 21 he was managing 140 people. Martijn has always had a fascination with being able to do more in less time, with less stress, lower cost and more impact. Over the years of his career, Martijn has mastered the art of lifehacking, which is all about leveraging your talents and your time to accomplish more in less time. At Biohacker Summit ’14 Martijn Aslander shared some of the life hacks he uses himself in work space and work life, as well as interesting approaches to working with people, information, failure and ideas. Check out the full presentation for the great lifehacking tips and inspirational story of Martijn Aslander.

Tech Implant Installation Live on Stage (Biohacker Summit 2014)
One of the most exciting parts of the 2014 event was the on-stage installation of implants into two volunteers. Before the installation, technologist, author, and double RFID implantee Amal Graafstra explains how he ended up having a chip in his hand and all the things it can be used for, such as: access control, mobile payments, loyalty programs, in-store marketing, location-based services, targeted marketing, information exchange and social networks. The idea of moving RFID chips from your pocket to your hand is pretty straightforward, but fundamentally it transforms the concept of interacting with and experiencing the world. This is exactly what Amal and others have observed ever since they got the implants. Pekko Vehviläinen, who had given his presentation earlier, was one of the brave volunteers to get his implant live on stage. To make the procedure even more interesting, Pekko’s heart rate and stress level were measured while having the chip implanted. Check out the full video to learn more about the story behind RFID implants and see for yourself how easy and painless it is to get them installed! Are implants the real future of biohacking?
