  • Sketch2Code Homework

    Doing some homework around @Microsoft’s #Sketch2Code for a bit today. This is the kind of action which could easily be a workflow/Shortcuts action within an app like @fiftythree @FiftyThreePaper — for simply conveying the initial steps of a concept the way we work at least read more

  • (re)Starting with New Assumptions

    Have had a number of positive conversations since starting on this Avanceé journey. For the most part, conversations have been positive. Something about someone focusing on their own narrative, while also being open to sowing into the lives of others, has something of its own pay off. At the same … read more

  • Normal Until Disaster

    Natural disasters often spring thoughts of what works and doesn’t work about the normal processes and tools we utilize. Needing the movement of electrons to power processes might make some things visible, but also endears us to segments of living which are not as easy to keep grounded. read more

  • Livability As Productivity

    Avanceé has accidentally been speaking towards two roads, design as normative to computing and productivity’s redefinition. Most of this is tied to some simple and straightforward observations across several industries. Yet, even these two tracks point to a better or more perfect definition of the … read more

Some of the tones of this conversation are muted — design speaks to something “felt” but also “known.” Some of those tones are louder — for … read more

  • Network Effects and Twitter Removal

    Thinking about taking some more chances with the content posted through this @microdotblog account and it hits that some of the reason that the jump hasn’t already happened is because of so many of the network effects gained (chained?) to Twitter. Whereas some people find it easy to make the … read more

  • Productivity As Identity

    Shifting modes of transportation invites a revisit into what productivity looks like. When one adds a commute, they add contemplative time. If they are the driver, there’s less time to spend in connected-thought, yet more time can be spent in and out of deep thought. If they instead add a physically … read more
