Brigadoon Annapolis Transcript, Pt3
Continuing a sharing of the notes which led to our Brigadoon Annapolis lecture on Digital Humanism. View Part 1 View Part 2 Filters, Awareness, Noise, & Poise There’s that “design” word again. You see, this constellation of devices is simply the colors on a palette, tossed against the canvas of my life, aiming to make a decent picture of what life I’ve been living. Thing is, all of this connectivity, all of these services and their implications, these are merely a negotiation of noise and poise. Continue reading →

Brigadoon Annapolis Transcript, Pt2
Continuing a sharing of the notes which led to our Brigadoon Annapolis lecture on Digital Humanism. View Part 1 of the notes if this is your first exposure to this series. Constellation of Devices I could be called a modern-day cyborg. Starting with the prescription glasses and going down to the cadaver’s ACL which is nailed into my knee, I have been augmented in a few means. And this isn’t even to mention the advanced sugars, intentionally and unintentionally modified fruits and vegetables making up my diet. Continue reading →

Brigadoon Annapolis Transcript, Pt1
Am going to spend a few posts sharing the thoughts and transcript/speaker notes which went into our Brigadoon Annapolis talk (Digital Humanism). Besides being a means to see how the lecture was created, it also enables some other eyes into what has been gestating within this Avanceé cocoon. Comment via Twitter DM: That’s kind of it… to some degree (and maybe its also in what I read & tweeted about tonight), I think that what I’m aiming for is an activation of what’s in us to do what we are building tools, services, behaviors… culture(s) to do.

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 →
