Musing on Embedded Leverage
Last week was decision architecture. This week, “Embedded leverage.” When trying to ascertain what it is that this initiative can offer to anyone, there are a few phrases that we used to kind of get people to understand what it is they may need/what it is we might be able to do for them: Executive architect Strategic program catalyst Internal transformation lead with executive access Special projects operator reporting high in the org None of these are particularly glamorous.

Using LLMs to Create Reusable Content
Tactful AI/LLM use is what I’m hoping for… Was sitting here looking at a few older emails, and there’s one of a bike shop owner asking if there was a flyer which has a bit about the state’s laws on e-bikes, helmet use, and general cycling law. Yes, there’s what BikeAAA (Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County did, but nothing larger in scope or a bit easier to grasp. Continue reading →

Musing on Decision Architecture and Misalignment
One of the ripples which came out of the sales summit we attended last week was a distinct sense of being a bit ill-fitted for the occasion. Don’t get me wrong, there’s def some better sales activities which needs to happen - and this was a great venue to understand what types of things folks might be listening for. But, what I came away most with is a lack of a means of moving from “operator” aspects to “architectural” ones. Continue reading →

Reflecting on HTML As A Canvas
For as long as my “internet brain remembers,” I’ve always had some kind of weird web projects happening. Weirdly, or maybe per my nature, it’s usually been about pushing HTML use in ways which make sense eventually, but are hard to explain while crafting… …when I swapped life from a Dell laptop to a Palm Treo & keyboard, it was HTML docs because “Office docs” were cumbersome, slow, and ultimately got converted to web formats anyways.

Bots vs Scribbles
Am composing this on macOS with a wireless keyboard. Mainly because it’s a tick closer to me than the iPad and Pencil. I prefer the latter. There, in between the scribbles, is the space where synthesis meets thinking meetings “ah, yea, we don’t wanna go that way.” On the other hand, typing is more direct. You type, there might be some autocorrect, there might be some more typing, and then you delete… its very linear. Continue reading →

Seeing Concepts More Clearly
Back in 2018, shared a thought about a dynamic-changing lens. This led into acquiring the Brilliant Labs Frame glasses for a long-running experiment. Well look at what IXI is demoing! Very awesome. Learn more at the IXI Eyewear website Continue reading →

Avanceé Reads for 9 Jan 26 🔗
Perhaps… No, more like “must move forward. There can be no change until people have sufficient confidence that what is now should no longer be. At some point, beyond the “this is the fated end” part, there’s going to have to be something built differently and better. Until then, this reckoning isn’t easy.

Frameworks: Progressions
This ought to be a series of posts around “frameworks” or such, but have no clue how long the energy will last for this. So let’s just take this one as it comes. Over the course of working for and with many companies, the idea that people should want to stick around is something many folks find challenging and yet… normal. Those who have ownership of executing or managing the overall vision have a vested interest in sticking around. Continue reading →

Hopeful Breakthroughs in Wearables & Connected Tech
Am a part of the Brilliant Labs Discord and occasionally there’s some neat branches hitting discussions. Wanting to preserve a recent exchange, am posting it here (aka, POSSE). This is how we make connectivity work towards our imaginations… As usual, hit up our usual channels if you’ve got comments. Brilliant Labs: Happy New Year to everyone in the community 🎉 As we step into a year where smart glasses, AI, and wearable tech are moving from novelty to everyday tools, what developments or breakthroughs are you most excited (or hopeful) to see in smart glasses, AI glasses, or wearables in general?

A Capacity to Dig, Wrench, and Fill
The end of the year is an interesting time of reflection and such. Where I might bend Avanceé to do similar - and share such a summary in the coming weeks - there’s often just a bit more lurking under the surface of these types of things: namely, what are you actually thinking about. For example, there was an excellent writeup of a company moving on from their content management system provider to something a bit more custom, brokered by using an LLM to figure out the gaps and code/craft the implementation points.
