WWDC 25 Quick Thought on iPadOS
As someone who uses iPadOS for 90+% of computing, Apple’s WWDC 25 is always an interesting time to hear/see what has been brewing. That said, given the order of presenting at today’s keynote: iOS CarOS WatchOS tvOS macOS VisionOS iPadOS …the expectation that something more powerful for iPadOS was definitely desired. What was shown did not match the vision I hold for the malleable canvas that is a tablet which encourages using multiple fingers, gestures, and interface tools to shape one’s experience.

Clarity of Costs
So how much does it cost to not have clarity to your product or service? There was a time I’d look at this solely as a design question. And then, I did the math. Every bad design decision led to something implemented that needed continual support. So, I’d started looking at the costs associated to support (support staff, training, documentation, governance/auditing, etc)… …the math gets a bit unwieldy, but its actually a fairly straightforward answer every time.

Reviewing Past Fractional Clarity
Conversations with a former coworker re-introduced archived content (in Muse where methods and techniques were used to establish an artifact called DesignOps (design operations). Besides having a delicious trip down memory lane for the use of Miro, there was also a delightful retracing of steps where I had to o serve content that moved from being difficult to understand, to being immensely more complex and powerful than many logical models. Part of that board had a sensemaking framework mapped to quadrants. Continue reading →

Peeled Thoughts Rarely Shared
Peeling from some untold thoughts… I saw the AiPin and iPad as complimentary to each other… and yet a different paradigm than mobile & laptop (which I also see as complimentary). I look at all of the “incantations“ that make up everything from basic writing to coding applications to now prompting, and I see a desire for friction to be even further reduced than what might be possible in this moment.

Articulating Something Through the Noise
Perhaps, seeing Google I/O meant that reflecting on what has been said and done in the past is an order. Here’s what we spoke about last year that’s showing in Google’s, OpenAI’s, and other news about the tech landscape: LLM Hardware and Muse AI as Accessibility Tooling Re-Engineering AI/ML Complexity Noted from Humane AiPin Use Implications of AiPin and Oura Connectivity Heh, and that’s just last year’s musings… going further back we could probably articulate a few other nuances lost in the noise.

A View of This Connected Time
Many people have complex relationship with connected devices. I do not. Using these devices, and in many cases, seeing the positives and negatives at the same time, comes extremely easily. Of late, I’m looking at the space of AI devices. The Humane AiPin I called “a secretary” because of the way that I could manipulate audio responses and multiple notes to give me insight about topics and researching or people I am coming to converse with.

When Do We Get to Molding
Watched three gentlemen at a coffee shop who pulled two tables together, with paper and laptop laptops spread out across them talking business. Wasn’t so much interested in topic, but I paid attention to how they were using the space to interact and manage their discussion. There were hand motions from one person. There was pointing at paper and shuffling between files with another person. All of them had a piece of their eye going towards the laptop, which had a privacy film on it. Continue reading →

On Perspective
Really dig when Satya Nadella and Microsoft publish the work trends report Not so much because it is saying anything that isn’t known. Most of the people who are on this particular social network already understand the changing environment for spaces that deal in some aspect of knowledge management. (whether you wanna call analytics, user experience, project/product, leadership, or whatever). What does this call out? It is for those persons or organizations who are using Microsoft products.

Avanceé Reads for 25 April 25 🔗
Spent a good bit of the week focusing on how to tighten the offering here and focus some initial messaging. Feels like there’s been some solid progress on that end, with a smattering of potential for a new model of delivery. The short description of Avanceé now reads: Avancee is a micro-consulting platform delivering strategic guidance, tailored to the competency maturity of a user or team. It lands quite a bit better than the previous… and sharpens the core focus. Continue reading →
