Your Ring Does What?
One of the ways in which Avanceé finds its bearings within conversations happens around the constellation of devices on the person. For example, at The Brigadoon Annapolis it was Snap’s Spectacles which took the lion’s share of attention. Though, it was the explaination of the other devices which gave grounding to what’s been happening. One of those items, the NFC Ring, is commonly referred to as “where the business card lies.

Immersed in iOS Shortcuts
Would usually take a week+ to read @macstoriesnet’s iOS 12 Review, but the writing made it a one-night affair; the Shortcuts section especially. To be a “power” user & not use these would indeed diminish the value of an iOS experience www.macstories.net/stories/i… Continue reading →

Nuance and Apple Watch Series 4
Reading, listening, and watching reviews of Apple Watch Series 4 For as much as reviewer’s who have had a limited amount of time can speak to features, usability, and even nuance seems to be missed. The clarity of what Apple is doing seems to be only alluded to buy a few. Perhaps there’s room for a different take… Maybe not a review, but a different kind of perspective amidst the noise 🤔 Continue reading →

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 Continue reading →

(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 time, Avanceé was started to become its own endeavor. There’s strategy and case studies, there have been concepts and histograms, and yet the things being thought through are still a bit further out there than what is being done in the world now.

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. Continue reading →

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 “living outside of the box” kind of innovation: livability. There’s something interesting about many USA/NA conversations about areas such as transportation, education, etc. — a lot of it centers around “what does it mean to be productive? Continue reading →
