Notable Reads for 18 Jan 🔗
Some challenges are harder than others. When in the midst of significant change, the challenge to maintain one’s bearings, alongside adapting to the unknowable opportunities/consequences of the oncoming reality, tends to make a mountain or a mess out of a lot of us. And yet, what it will mean to cross that chasim, and become that thing you were sure was coming — and are surprised all the same — speaks to the beauty of the challenge. Continue reading →

Shortcuts and the Challenge of Flow
The use of Apple Shortcuts and an ability to maintain “flow states” of productivity on iOS When talking about productivity, much of the discussion around using systems outside of Windows and macOS die on the hill of “flow.” Meaning, there are alternate apps or behaviors which need to be learned in order to do the same things. Instead of using existing methods to maintain/improve the workspace, alternative tools and methods create friction within the experience — they break the perceived and actual flow states people wish to not leave when being productive.

Notable Reads for 11 Jan 🔗
2019 is off and running — so to speak. Challenges in the USA with budgets and government shutdowns notwithstanding, there’s at least something to be said about the tone and fervor of items published over the past week. More often than not, there’s a sense of many wanting to dig deeper than the normative narratives in order to best view opportunities. A few of those items which stuck out shared here as usual.

Scribbling Notes Towards Refined Abilities
Could going about sharing digitally using an analog analogy unveil the better AI There’s something “rough” about the way online systems have asked for us to modify behaviors so that we can script and share content. For the most part, the analogy begins and ends in a list. Feeling like Avanceé could push things differently, there’s an experiment underway to add a bit of “scribbling” to the notion of the shared links. Continue reading →

Bringing in the new year with a slight rebranding of the week’s links 🔗🔖, now called _Notable Reads_. And if all works out, most of these will also be accompanied with some better connective tissue through the use of [LiquidText](http://liquidtext.net) and a few others for future shares. Until that future arrives, here’s what’s been notably read for the past few weeks: Going Dumb: My Year With a Flip Phone via WIRED Childhood’s End via Edge. Continue reading →

Avanceé in 2018: Articulating Focus
2018 was the first year for Avanceé. With new initiatives, there is usually a specific product or problem statement springboarding an audience to figure out why they need what’s being offered. That clarity of focus has been the purpose of the first year with Avanceé. This venture takes a complex paradigm (an intersection of experience design, automation/augmented intelligence/artificial intelligence, & the future of work/industries), and packages it so that individuals, teams, and companies can take the best advantage of the technologies, processes, and experiences which will define them going forward.

Links for 2018
Just about every week in 2018, Avanceé shared a selection of links which stuck out amongst the noise. Some of these highlighted commentary on news and technology, some pointed to other blossoming spaces, and still others pointed to newer interpretations of older spaces. These will be noted in one post here to close the year — for what sticks out for the curator is not often what also sticks out for their audience. Continue reading →

Links for 21 Dec
The way this part of the season has developed, one is supposed to take inventory of the year, admonish themselves for making it this far (in one piece), and reflect forward to the mostly positive outlook for the upcoming year. Rarely do we continue as if the year isn’t ending. It is only a solstice after all — a standing of the sun for just a moment. Perhaps the point of pausing all along wasn’t to reflect, but to give other pieces of our world a chance to find their rest and reset their rhythms. Continue reading →
