On Perspective
Really dig when Satya Nadella and Microsoft publish the work trends report Not so much because it is saying anything that isn’t known. Most of the people who are on this particular social network already understand the changing environment for spaces that deal in some aspect of knowledge management. (whether you wanna call analytics, user experience, project/product, leadership, or whatever). What does this call out? It is for those persons or organizations who are using Microsoft products.

Making AR More Useful
Good discussion topic over at Reddit asking what could make augmented reality (AR) more useful in everyday life. My comment: It needs to extend physical interfaces or make one more aware to senses they might not be using. For example, being able to touch a an ordinary light switch (on/off) is what might be the physical reality. But the AR reality should enable dimming of the light via some gesture on the same object.

Chatting about Muse Today
Update: interview now posted An hour or so ago, wrapped up a 90ish-minute chat with Adam Wulf of Muse (museapp.com and @museapp on the socials) Chatted a bit about our use of Muse - daily/weekly use, perspectives on tablet/canvases and direct input interfaces, and what it means to have a space of thought that’s separate-yet-productive and distinct from collaborative/participatory software. You’ll glean a bit more about how Avanceé is also shaped as a business from this, which might be helpful in assisting you or your team’s journey. Continue reading →

You Aren’t Looking for A Coach
Here’s something that stuck out getting to the middle of this piece: you aren’t looking for a coach. …People buy business books because they’re hoping for frameworks to solve their immediate problems (getting more leads, improving sales, scaling staff.) Choice isn’t like that. It’s a self-help book disguised as a business book. It’s about finding your way in a world gone mad. One that’s designed to distract you. But, it was positioned as a book to help you make more money. Continue reading →

Torque Wrenches

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 →
