    Had a great convo with the current maintainer behind Muse this week. Amongst the insightful things shared, we talked a good bit about a gradient of software which ranges from meditative/contemplative on one end (where Muse is) to that which is more productivity and collaboration-oriented on the other. When people have said they have a hard time figuring out Muse, I argued they do because there’s very little contemplative software. Continue reading →

  • Responsive Communication

    continued thoughts from the previously posted Refining the Contact Points One of the ways am using the Humane AiPin is in the form of a networking assistant. For several events, have used the AiPin to make a note of contacts by copying the business card into its notes and then adding notes as context needs. Not a pure CRM, but suitable enough to remember context and reach back out to persons. Continue reading →

    Making connections is decent, have been told. But showing you why those connections are the answers to the questions you haven’t been asking is the bit where Avanceé’s value to you is most unlocked.

    The fragility in the connections between our wellness and our evolving productivity has been a connective thread in the reads this week. Whether folks are resilient enough, or have built the structures to be more resilient in the face of trauma and change is another thread to this. Also published: How to AI Continue reading →

  • How to AI

    There’s something of a running joke in tech-corporate settings where there’s this bastardizing of the terminology of a new tool or method which breaks forth. It’s really bad, and wouldn’t be as funny if it weren’t true. Now, there are several reasons for this, part of it having to do with the way we want to signal to people who determine our reputation. The other part has to do with how mimicry happens before adoption. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 27 Sept 24 🔗

    The closing of the month and changing season sure seems to have brought out every kind of thing. No industry or community seems to be spared from revelations about almost anything. More than how we respond to these, will be how we connect the dots between these ite,a now, and what’s come before. From that, hopefully, we are prepared to respond to whatever blossoms or rots next.

  • Notes from Humane AiPin Use

    sharing from my AiPin journal an item which has been a part of “what can the AiPin do better” stream of thoughts Thinking about the survey from the other day, and some of the other convos, I’m back to chewing on “what about email do I want from the AiPin?” A further reflection refined from a piece on working behaviors. Then I hit this Twitter/X thread and a lot of nodding happens Continue reading →

  • Are Websites Still Needed

    A few conversations recently brought back to the surface an older topic: is a website really needed? To be frank, am speaking of persons who are not selling products but are offering a service, or displaying a competency so that they can be utilized for some type of knowledge expertise. What is the value of a website for these persons/companies? Where the website was once the center of your interaction and knowledge with a person or business, it is now social media, interpersonal relationships, and broadcast/narrowcast media which takes these roles.
