Torque Wrenches
Some weekends ago was working on one of my bicycles. I had a little bit of squeaking and went to use a torque wrench and the guidance of the user manual to make sure that items were in the correct set. When I got around to the headset, stem, I noticed they were definitely not according to specification. They were in fact, too loose to safely continue riding. So I began to tighten them according to the Newton meters prescribed within the manual. Continue reading →

Opining about Human-Centered Design in Civic Tech
Cropping a convo for a wider eye/lens… the context being design/human-centered design in (a/some) #CivicTech spaces How to be human centered when the operational objective isn’t to be humane, but to be operationally more proficient… such is the design challenge to transform its approach and posture once again Could probably drop tools/practices and just focus towards training and behavioral development… use the “tools/practices” as the languages and impress a heuristic of product agility, operational versatility, and “readiness to {outcome}” as the pillars.

Update to Brilliant Labs Frame 👓 Experiment
One of the advantages of Avanceé’s platform is the ability to explore and experiment as we desire. We can take a look at the edges of technology and pushed towards our own affairs. This has been the case with a few products from Brilliant Labs. First, we looked at the Monocle, a single lens and developer focused device. It was really a chance to look at something that was on the outright edge of heads up displays and using artificial intelligence-like applications. Continue reading →

Stumbling As Agility
Stumbling forward. That’s more or less the feeling these days. And for each experiment and moment of research that offers a little bit of clarity there’s also something different upon us. It was affirming to see a graphic speak to the amount of content that comes across our senses. And even in this case where it doesn’t even talk through all of our senses, the way that we are architected really makes an impact, or reaffirm the impact of everything from current events to the ways that we express our agility.

Considerations and Certifications
“I think it’s worth calling out the BS and pointing people in the right direction.” Stealing that line from a recent conversation as we are getting set to increase activity with some local partners and am looking across the scope of what is happening to the space of technology operations. About AI/ML: Nothing about current AI/ML tech leads a belief that it’s the right thing, yet. And yet, even though we are pressing the AiPin into use alongside doing our own research.

Avanceé Reads for 24 Jan 25 🔗
And here we’ve got something of interesting shape of things. On one side is this deplorable state of circumstances, on another this state of endless possibilities. Am not sure all of it is as bleak or otherwise optimistic, but trying to push forward means taking what is and isn’t, while also finding new voices to yell for what’s needed.

OpenAI Operator Quick Thoughts
There’s a part of having watched OpenAI’s Operaror video (and read the release and accompanying docs which says “in calling the AiPin a secretary, and this should be a part of its characteristics.” And that’s semi-good (heck, am actually not long from booking a flight after a few days of lagging on such). There’s a part which has a less happy vibe to this… somewhat thinking about the lower-level tech support which falls near the “I don’t want to talk to a machine, I want to talk to a human” feeling.
