Avanceé Reads for 23 June 23 🔗
Surely didn’t have as many things read over this week; and at the same time, the notes are correct for the state of contemplation. What’s upcoming could be just as deep as other bits which have hit the headlines this week. Continue reading →

Frustrations of Un-Optimization
In the shape of Avanceé, there’s the aforementioned challenge of the coaching down-slope, but also there’s that of other frustrations. Not speaking of things such as tech/tools not working, or even of slower-than-desired answering of questions. No, probably the hardest frustration to deal with is that of un-optimized workspaces. Where there’s an ask to do/be more, but upon nothing more than a cursory assessment, addition isn’t needed. Optimization is. This usually means some level of retraining - and depending on the audience, this can be somewhat… frustrating. Continue reading →

Part of the narrative am wondering about shifting is how non-screen computing might reshape such perceptions and expectations, leaving those who wish to be seen “computing” as something of a analog reality to the (invisible, connected) reality of not needing a screen.

A Lab and A Future
Most things shared here are small notes and threads amongst topics others are talking about. But what about when others aren’t talking? Well, we are creating a research and (experimentation) development and laboratory of sorts. For a long time, the primary means of being able to explore and exploit the edges of what is happening has relied on reading, low-budget tech acquisitions, and many friendly conversations (so many thanks over the years) enabling a lot of smart and forward-thinking items.
