  • 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.

  • Week’s Perspective

    Erasing the whiteboard and readying for another week of challenges, insights, and new perspectives to open. Sometimes the photograph of what’s to come starts as an artist’s dream Continue reading →

  • 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.

  • Brigadoon Annapolis via Kownacki

    ‪Enjoying a trip back to @the_brigadoon Annapolis via the pics taken by @bkownacki — so many of them capture the energy of the time there… especially shots during our lecture: expressive, engaging, and a hint of “learning about the future-present”‬ Continue reading →

  • 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.
