Notable Reads for 4 Jan 🔗
Bringing in the new year with a slight rebranding of the week’s links 🔗🔖, now called _Notable Reads_. And if all works out, most of these will also be accompanied with some better connective tissue through the use of [LiquidText](http://liquidtext.net) and a few others for future shares. Until that future arrives, here’s what’s been notably read for the past few weeks: Going Dumb: My Year With a Flip Phone via WIRED Childhood’s End via Edge. Continue reading →

Links for 2018
Just about every week in 2018, Avanceé shared a selection of links which stuck out amongst the noise. Some of these highlighted commentary on news and technology, some pointed to other blossoming spaces, and still others pointed to newer interpretations of older spaces. These will be noted in one post here to close the year — for what sticks out for the curator is not often what also sticks out for their audience. Continue reading →

Links for 21 Dec
The way this part of the season has developed, one is supposed to take inventory of the year, admonish themselves for making it this far (in one piece), and reflect forward to the mostly positive outlook for the upcoming year. Rarely do we continue as if the year isn’t ending. It is only a solstice after all — a standing of the sun for just a moment. Perhaps the point of pausing all along wasn’t to reflect, but to give other pieces of our world a chance to find their rest and reset their rhythms. Continue reading →

Links for 12 Dec
Per the usual cadence of this time of year, certain newsbits slow down, projects find their way into a quieter reverb, and strategies for the upcoming year are given their last views before being confirmed. Depth and death of the of the previous 11 to 12 months of activity are given their place. And yet, insights don’t stop forming. In fact, to the trained eye, this might be the time when those insights are most likely to be found. Continue reading →

Links for 8 Dec
Better late than never? Or, better next than never? Sometimes, the framing we have for what we want to do and what’s been done is rightly shaped by where we might have heard/seen things done for much longer than their source was remembered. When we look at such constructs, there’s an opportunity to continue down the same line, or reset the expectations such that we might see the current roads in a different/better light.

Links for 30 Nov
There’s a different pace to the end of the year. For some, its about making sure that the mistakes and opportunities of earlier in the year are taken advantage of. For some, its about next year — all of the energies of for creating and investing into this year are done with, and the strategies for hitting the ground running next year are in play. Where that lands this week’s links is one part in what is observed, and another in what is prepared. Continue reading →

Links for 23 Nov
Keeping to the usual flow of posting the week’s curated links despite the extension of the holiday weekend in the USA. Granted, Black Friday wants to be a holiday for many retailers. But, there’s probably better items on deck for some of the rest of us (for example, REI’s #OptOutside is a great excuse unless your weather is unbearable). It is worth the pause to at least read and consider that, sometimes, different perspectives should persist despite the shades of the days and seasons around us. Continue reading →

Links for 16 Nov
Feels a bit as if this was a week of momentum gained. There was clarity regarding Avanceé (in communicating product, purpose, and value). Clarity for some regions who voted (some still being determined). And even some clarity for the way some companies will go about reporting their progress going forward. Seems like clarity is the theme to have been part of the exhaust of what’s transpired this week. Perhaps then, the selection of links on this week will offer an ability for more items to clearly come into view. Continue reading →

Links for 9 Nov
Perhaps the entrance of a new series of iPads is not a reason to be ancy about the potentials and downsides of various technologies. But, one can’t help but look at all of the data, all of the micro and macro movements caused by this level of connectedness, and wonder if we aren’t simply evolving humanity, but also manifesting a clearer sense of what it means to be human. Such is one of the reflections wrought by this week’s readings. Continue reading →

Links for 2 Nov
It is often said that more data is a good thing. Whether that data is relevant or irrelevant almost doesn’t get talked about as often. Nor, does it get spoken about what happens after the data is exhausted, or there is no more relevance to collecting so much data. Chances are, the links shared this week will cause a similar state of personal and organizational reassessment — just because there’s data present, doesn’t mean there’s progress gained.
