Thought: Incompatible with Current Working Behaviors
One of the threads connecting our research with sales/opportunities is a framework where this work is based on a different approach to screens and input than most are accustomed. Utilizing a mobile and tablet for the better part of 15 -20 years as a primary computer is something of an alternate reality from the “we just discovered smartphones when Apple did it” contingent. Shoot, when the iPhone was introduced, was using Nokia’s N800 Internet Tablet as a primary device while reporting from an event demoing other upcoming devices. Continue reading →

Is There A Difference Now for Social Computing Devices
Context: Sitting in the usual cafe-office, looking at the devices on the table and recalling a friend’s mention about new wallpaper on their mobiles…sharing wallpapers is such a social thing. If this were the “social computing” setup, I wonder what the “sharing wallpaper” moments would be? In the rise of wearable devices, capability is often touted as being the prime factor for usage. But, that isn’t often the case. There are behaviors - sometimes new or novel - which endear themselves to the adoption and use of those devices which makes or breaks their use. Continue reading →

Read the Terms of Service
Was introduced to a new-to-me web service the other day. As with many, it was “Al” related. So I did my usual… I went to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to see what is going on behind the marketing. In this case, the TOS was not all that… good. So, took at look at the developer’s site and any TOS/privacy policy notes there. This was better. But also concerning. Continue reading →

How is Avanceé Using AI/ML Today
The straightforward answer is there isn’t a daily use case which is centered around “productivity.” There are the near-invisible cases such as memo-writing based off of feedback from items which come to mind or recent conversations, but these don’t move the needle to what many have talked about using AI/ML for. Well, not for some of is desired for transformers to accomplish. There are some edge uses such as when looking to do comparisons or code changes/enhancements; where previously would go to several sites and piece things together. Continue reading →

Complications and Re-Engineering AL/ML Complexity
A part of the work posted during some of the weekly “notable reads“ lives in the attention paid to augmented/artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Much of this is because this is a popular topic, and there’s much worth investigating behind the hype and ”transformative actions” at play. Some has become a regular dive into data structures, language models, and model implementations. We purchased a Mac Mini a few years ago to explore this space with more depth - a prototypical research and development experiment. Continue reading →

Why Origami?
At a Bowie Baysox game, got a chance to have a table and engage with some folks around this initiative. It’s not necessarily the best place for talking about re-engineering complexity through coaching and consulting, but was an opportunity and a lot of lessons were learned. One of the more obscure lessons and opportunities came with the thought of using origami as a tool on the table to draw people in and ignite some interest. Continue reading →

Brilliant Labs’ Frame AI Glasses Initial Impression 👓
As I arrived at the breakfast place, was a bit excited to share with a friend these new glasses. They were no different than the ones I usually wear in the way they looked, but they were definitely different in the way they acted. I took the glasses out of the case to put them on. Then turned on my iPad Pro to connect the glasses to them. I got a message: “you must unpair the glasses in order to pair them with this device. Continue reading →

Choosing Other Paths
Why do we do what we do in the business of selling? From business cards, to networking events, to newsletters the products that are “just get your name out there,” and etc., why do we do what we do? Are we doing it because it’s a template that affirms and establishes trust to those people that we say we want to purchase something from us? Are we doing it because it establishes some type of reputation that’s easy to grasp because there’s only so much time in the day and so many ways to connect with the different products and services that come along?

Being Attentive
If you’ve got an iPhone/iPad, and you go into Settings; then down to Safari; then down to Advanced, you’ll see this menu called Website Data… That’s like a temp-ish storage area for the sites you’ve visited, and many you haven’t but have some presence on your device. Now, you can go thru those one at a time, deleting the items which are unfamiliar. Or, you can remove all of them at once. Continue reading →
