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 →

Deep Thought As A UI Paradigm
Avanceé has elevated many discussions and topics throughout this first year. Much of this is overflow from projects, but, occasionally, there’s some expanding on ideas which are expressed in other channels. The latest of these has been a consideration about a user interface (UI) and overall experience pattern for the type of work described as “deep thought.” We’ll start from the tweet which questioned, the response which proposed one, and how we can perhaps develop on that idea of what a UI looks like from there.

Links for 12 Dec
Per the usual cadence of this time of year, certain newsbits slow down, projects find their way into a quieter reverb, and strategies for the upcoming year are given their last views before being confirmed. Depth and death of the of the previous 11 to 12 months of activity are given their place. And yet, insights don’t stop forming. In fact, to the trained eye, this might be the time when those insights are most likely to be found. Continue reading →

Experimental World Design
There are those who invent the future before its imagined… that happens here too In one of the reads highlighted last week, there was the mention of the space and practice of experimental world design. This could also be called prototype engineering or futures concepting. It amounts to drawing on various disciplines in order to guide decision making processes for what could be more clearly seen with something “touchable” in the midst. Continue reading →

Links for 8 Dec
Better late than never? Or, better next than never? Sometimes, the framing we have for what we want to do and what’s been done is rightly shaped by where we might have heard/seen things done for much longer than their source was remembered. When we look at such constructs, there’s an opportunity to continue down the same line, or reset the expectations such that we might see the current roads in a different/better light.

Under Your Nose
Chances are you don’t need a design strategy to fix your product/market fit. The solution to your woes is likely under your nose already. Within a few streams of technology and communication, there is a path of resistance when it comes to figuring out what might be the solution to fixing a product for greater market acceptance. The waves within those streams are rocks which might challenge the way in which water travels. Continue reading →
