    What should we better do now that we understand the uniqueness of the world in which we live? Not that everything is by chance, there are certain mathematical principles which have been found to discover some of the most obscure aspects of this world. But, when we are presented items we thought were unique, and now find they are less so, how do we enable a better response? This week’s links presents the struggles within such a framing; and possibly measures to find order within the squalor. Continue reading →

    Coming to the halfway point of October with all indications that the holidays will have as much lights, noise, and perspectives as ever. There’s a wonder with some if this year’s holiday season will land more on the side of taking a deep breath, or just waiting for the next shoe to drop. In whatever case, weather swings and sings along with familiar and unfamiliar themes in this week’s links. Continue reading →

    Thoughts about the next waves, and the impending dooms, which have been brought forth not just by our actions, but our inactions. Sometimes, these steps forward with communications, media, transportation, and other spaces seem so great. Then there is that macro view in which they are just a smaller part of a bigger narrative. There’s much about macro and micro views with this week’s links. Perhaps even, there might be a view into how we transition from this wave to the next to take away also. Continue reading →

    There are methods and plans for all kinds of endeavors, but the joy in the remix and release is usually more fulfilling to the core of the creator than the core of the consumer. It all works out to a kind of personal efficiency. What’s becomes efficient, optimized, maximized, and/or simplified is received by both. That’s part of what goes into sharing this week’s links that is: Where in your mouth letters are formed via Twitter & Language Base Camp Three-Way Brain to Brain to Brain Interface via MIT Technology Review Data Factories via Stratechery Microsoft Retools Surface like for Productivity Vision via Fast Company How China Used A Tiny Chip to Infiltrate American Companies via Bloomberg QWERTY Days Are Almost Over via Wall Street Journal We posted a few items this week, leveraging a bit more longer-thought items, but will only highlight the key pieces (follow here or on Twitter for the smaller snippets shared throughout the week): Continue reading →

    Searching, scratching, and using beats on 808s to do something like matching. Each week the links here are a mix and remix of what has made for a piece of insight. From these, Avanceé aims to create a means for others to see forward. Sometimes that’s automating work processes, other times that’s designing systems and noting the potential (and unintentional) interactions. Remixing jazz made for rock, pop, hiphop, and more. Chances are that these links will provoke you to create something new also. Continue reading →

    Throughly enjoyed sharing a bit about “digital humanism” at Annapolis Brigadoon over the past days. Yet, for as much as there was an expression of Avanceé (main points: livability as productivity and boundaries established around understanding circadian rhythms), the conversations when went well beyond and through our presentation made the time all that more enjoyable. There’s a thread in all things, and maybe the best one yet being the conversations which enable us to learn just a little bit more about other’s place in the world, and perhaps refine how we see ourselves in the same.

    Clouds and rain seem to make something of a calming moment for many. For others, clouds and rain portend a change. Whether things are going to not be as they were, or that the change which was going to come isn’t. As much as we sometimes see the former, its the latter to which its harder to figure out when under the clouds and not on top of them. With that, here are this week’s links: Continue reading →

    There’s this stretch of life which happens right at the end of summer when many folks start picking up the pace. An anxiousness to the end of the year? Catching up and getting back on pace because of summer breaks? Or, maybe something a bit more is happening. Whatever it is, there’s a cause for a quickening. That means a quick review here, and a launch into more for later. Continue reading →

    There’s something of a flood coming. At least, depending on the genre you are watching, listening to, or consumed by there’s something coming. Now, what we are doing with it, might your company be trying a different route rather than the same, or how you might be deciding to ignore it are the other questions. Developing something better than a response, while being aware of what is or isn’t relevant. Data is a flood… until it isn’t. Continue reading →

    It has been something of a flashback in seeing how many have made their way over to MicroBlog. Sure, Twitter acting out has a lot to do with that, but there’s probably something a tick under the surface with a lot of social groups and social networks which grow over a particular size or gain some kind of celebrity/global affluence. There’s always someone and something mining a path just a bit differently… until others also figure out the new road and make it their own also. Continue reading →
