  • All the Personal Computing One Needs

    Sitting in a cafe, thinking about what’s happening with the hardware side of computing and wonder how much longer before we get to just having these “matchbox-sized devices” as all the computing that’s needed? Granted, neither the AirPods Pro or Monocle are able to do much themselves right now. But, local learning models plus “connectivity when needed” (local-first approaches) could really take personal computing and make it truly personal. Even with the various ways folks are using their devices in the cafe (laptop and over the ear headphones, a person just on their mobile, and another using their mobile alongside books/hand-written notes, there’s this sense that the screen really needs to be more malleable.

  • XReal Beam, Monitor Replacement on Deck

    Catching up with many who also got the XReal Beam, Avanceé’s came in today and it’s already been a pretty neat experience. To cover things others haven’t said as much of… very easy to setup. Though didn’t realize having Nebula (MacOS) app open would conflict with the Beam. It’s an either/or not a “both can be connected.” Turned on screen mirroring and then the Beam went in pocket. That was good. Continue reading →

  • Question of Value

    What’s the value of creativity or any type of manual information work during this age where the tools for work moves faster towards network-automated transformations? It would appear that the phase of connected work accelerated by “asynchronous, collaboration“ has really moved “slow curiosity and remixing“ to the edges of what it means to do knowledge-based work. One can argue this is merely a ripple, or an implication of the tools we have. Continue reading →

    Absolutely awesome confluence of ideas and convos this week, and new lab play. Also published: Don’t Need A Controller With That <a href”https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/2274/2023/image.png” target=“_blank”> Continue reading →

  • Don’t Need A Controller with That

    Contentious opinion? Apple and Humane aren’t wrong… you do not want a controller or other device as a necessary input tool when using AR/VR/MR devices. Towards the end of June, jumped again into the AR/VR thing with adding the XReal Air to the Avancee device lab. This is really an interesting device, and not just because “Apple has entered the AR fray with the VIsion Pro.” The XReal Air actually does a pretty decent job mirroring an iOS/iPadOS display, or extending a macOS display (up to three virtual desktops).

  • Cutting Through the Noise

    Apparently, I’m getting older. And saying that because more often than not these days, am looking for areas where it’s quiet. Or more specifically, where the noted decibel ranges somewhere under 50 dB, and that’s not a bad thing, we know there’s a connection regarding noise, pollution, and our ability to be productive. And then, we all know about taking times to meditate, and how a consistent focus towards meditating adds years to your life (almost literally). Continue reading →
