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 →

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 →

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.

Links for 26 Oct
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 →

Links for 19 Oct
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 →

Links for 12 Oct
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 →

Links for 5 Oct
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 →

Links for 28 Sept
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 →

Links for 21 Sept
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.
