    It can be a fun demonstration of experiments when they work. Connecting the dots between the technologies and behaviors that are coming to the technologies and behaviors that we are used to something of an adventure. It’s also an adventure when it doesn’t work. Credibility as well as accessibility gets called into play. Connecting the dots is an accessibility issue just as much as it is a marketing one.

  • Frameworks for Professional Development

    Many years back, and ironically while working in a space to improve the experience in using application management tools, delivered a presentation to a few groups of recruiters, then designers, based on a rubric I’d been working on. Beyond the Slideshow, circa 2018 After one of those presentations, felt as if that rubric became solid enough of a foundation to use in leadership roles, and with many who had a difficult time in quantifying the impact of focusing on design experience to specific persons and contexts.

    Finding the connections amongst an increasingly resilient set of bushes. Or, just making sure that as we walk through these new connected paths, there’s some connection to those folks who attempted to walk these connections before.

  • OpenAI Announcment & Take Away

    Much about yesterday’s AI news was about OpenAI’s ChatGPT update to GPT-4o (omnimodal is what I’m hearing that means). And par the course, I used my Humane AiPin to get a summary update from the announcement. What’s important to take away from this - your tools are shifted (if you are in a space where you need to mix/remix/analyze data streams, aka knowledge work).

    Things fare better when we are focused… but then again, entropy does have its way regardless of intention. Continue reading →

  • Contemplative, Focused Computing

    Every time a new iPad is released, or iPadOS is updated, much of the conversation turns to “but can it replace your computer?” I haven’t liked that one bit… and haven’t just replaced laptop/desktop usages, I’ve done bits with its malleable, direct input canvas that (as Steve Jobs noted) fit in between the laptop and mobile modes of work. Attached to this is a note of a conversation - which while solutioning user flows, animed to answer user experience aspects the conversation missed. Continue reading →

    Yea, a tick late on posting, but it’s been a heavy end of week. Maybe slowing down isn’t a bad idea for several aspects of things. Also published: Back to Reconsidering Productivity Computing Continue reading →

  • Back to Reconsidering Productivity Computing

    Years back, using mobile devices in various cafes led me to thinking and tinkering with what the accepted-normal was in regards to computers for productivity. I’m pushing thru some lessons regarding identity, security, and LLM/AI - finding this experimentation and exploration ignited afresh. Not so much because I value work - in fact, I think as a concept, it’s not the right way to working thru it. But I do agree that “presence,” “coordination,” and “considerations” move differently than a clamshell keyboard/screen or single glass slab. Continue reading →

    I don’t know… something in the air is letting some folks have it. Something in the water is like, “it’s about time you get your stuff together.” Almost like all the elements are conspiring to tell us to pay attention to presence - versus just to ‘attention.’ Also published Developing ICAM Experiences As A Learning Canvas Continue reading →
