Notable Reads for 1 Nov 🔗
Have been away once again. This time because of physical moments. Seasons changing does some interesting, yet humbling, things to our sense of time and energy. At times, we can navigate feeling the best of all the energies the sun has to offer. And then there are those longer, colder winters — where it’s more about perseverance than much else. It’s shaping up to be an interesting end to the year. Continue reading →

Probably should not do more apologies. And yet a present situation has made for a cadence disruption that probably isn’t as noticeable. The beauty of this platform places metrics for success outside of what is posted. This space is merely an extension of what gets to happen in other modes. To some, it may be better that way. There are many situations where looking at specific metrics causes you to slow down, instead of further hone what do you do best. Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 4 Oct 🔗
For one reason or another, felt like waiting until the end of the day to share what has been impactful in reading. Impact is noticed when it happens, but the ripples are what we really respond to. Sometimes those ripples are positive effects (wisdom, understanding, or realization of a kind of humility, etc.). Other times, those ripples are an indication there was actually something a bit more perilous on the horizon (the tidal wave after an earthquake for instance). Continue reading →

The arrival of fall… a resetting of clocks in so many ways. Where the summer was laden with perhaps a slower, restorative pace. The fall comes with a bit of a hurried pace. Even in cultures where the concept of storing for the winter has long passed, there’s still such energy. The winter we ready for seems similar yet altogether different; it’s a winter of perhaps hibernating from the decisions of earlier. Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 21 Sept 🔗
Wrapped up into a new context and the usual Friday has turned into a late Saturday. Perhaps, it’s because this new context — external to Avanceé — is a chance to explore even more the deep thought UI paradigm. Not because these links or the weekly articles manifest a clear point, but these are a connection of thoughts — a connectome — the very elements by which something clearer, something that’s a solution, something inventive… something new will be birthed from.

As good a theme for the week’s reads as any. From @yourgirlSylv: There are lots of different kinds of disabilities in the world. Some visible, some invisible. People living with disabilities are some of the most creative & resilient folks bc of a life of navigating systems designed without our consideration! #CripTheVote And now, a few reads which sync to such a powerful statement: Apple VP Nick Law on the future of creative agencies | Contagious Rotten STEM: How Technology Corrupts Education - American Affairs Journal Here’s how Bucs' Bruce Arians assembled historic coaching staff; ‘They just happened to be black’ — Yahoo Sports Kevin Durant’s New Headspace - WSJ When Your Child Is a Psychopath — The Atlantic Special Note: as noticed in this week’s post; have been putting in some time with the beta of Muse, a note/whiteboard/tack board-like app. Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 6 Sept 🔗
Communicating clarity is not exactly easy. There’s the perspective we have, and then there is the perspective of others. We can expert for others to learn the way we do, or shape perspectives in a way which syncs with our worldview. However, this is an inappropriate expectation — what is valuable for them is what maintains their universe. Clarity should indeed transmit our perspective, but it should at its best empower them to see the best/worst of their universe. Continue reading →

Another week in the books, and yet labor seems to continue. Still processing what it means in the context of a week spent assisting clients take steps forward in their technological adoptions. Close and far, small steps, and clarity… with an expectation that you cannot plan for everything. Perhaps this week’s links land on that point: Jeremiah Grossman on Twitter: Re: iPhone. We’re all just 1 zero-day away from being compromised… Credit card privacy matters: Apple Card vs. Continue reading →

The distance between faith and worry… or what’s found in a proposal meeting’s questions. The two states really aren’t dissimilar, only difference being one feels internal to a person, and the latter to the organization. How does one navigate that distance? Yes, there’s some measure of playing to certainty. Yet there’s also the other parts of the fold — confirming through questions what you do well, what you don’t, and what you will need assistance in going forward towards. Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 16 Aug 🔗
Sitting down to write and on the window is an insect I’d not seen before. Not a spider, just six legs. And yet, I’m more intrigued at it, than it probably is at me. The closer I get to it, the more it takes steps to move away from my gaze. Even going as far towards moving into an upper corner of the window, to a place it’s likely under more danger from birds or even other insects. Continue reading →
