  • Technological Advents

    Having written once and found the item gone into the ether, there was the day’s events spent thinking (in the background) about what it means to be at the front of various technological shifts. This topic was made more present when asked about a new keyboard being used — it makes a bit of sense in this season to think again towards advent and technological changes. Oftentimes, we don’t notice those changes until they happen. Continue reading →

  • Links for 23 Nov

    Keeping to the usual flow of posting the week’s curated links despite the extension of the holiday weekend in the USA. Granted, Black Friday wants to be a holiday for many retailers. But, there’s probably better items on deck for some of the rest of us (for example, REI’s #OptOutside is a great excuse unless your weather is unbearable). It is worth the pause to at least read and consider that, sometimes, different perspectives should persist despite the shades of the days and seasons around us. Continue reading →

  • Conversations Create New Roads

    ‪Lots of email newsletters have been pushed out this year. So many are a collection of links, maybe some marketed goods, rarely long-form. But, where’s the conversation? Where’s the resulting products from those conversations? The convos to the concepts to the creations?‬ ‪Been a year trying something different with Avanceé. Part of this has been an alternate signal in the newly formed “bucket of links at the cost of your email. Continue reading →

  • Clarity in Conversation

    Each conversation is another lesson in what others might do or want to do in order to make steps forward. The most common theme comes from the peeling off of the stated problem to what the actual issue might be. Then sketching across an ocean of possibilities, guiding the direction of something simpler, something which may be better — even if we didn’t build anything to get there. This is is Avanceé Continue reading →

  • Links for 16 Nov

    Feels a bit as if this was a week of momentum gained. There was clarity regarding Avanceé (in communicating product, purpose, and value). Clarity for some regions who voted (some still being determined). And even some clarity for the way some companies will go about reporting their progress going forward. Seems like clarity is the theme to have been part of the exhaust of what’s transpired this week. Perhaps then, the selection of links on this week will offer an ability for more items to clearly come into view. Continue reading →

  • Perceiving Productivity Normally

    Using an iPad to teach how to use a PC changes perceptions and behaviors of productivity Over the past month, have been working with a long-time client on changing the methods used to teach a few base-applications. A previous shift, from published workbooks to organization-specific content (lived within their servers within the apps being taught), greatly increased skills retention and workshop engagement. This recent change leverages Office 365 and OneNote, using the iPad to teach those applications from OneNote’s perspective. Continue reading →

  • Weekends in A Snap Space

    Might be a weekend, but pressing forward deserves play spaces not always as linear as a weekday’s newsfeed Continue reading →

  • Links for 9 Nov

    Perhaps the entrance of a new series of iPads is not a reason to be ancy about the potentials and downsides of various technologies. But, one can’t help but look at all of the data, all of the micro and macro movements caused by this level of connectedness, and wonder if we aren’t simply evolving humanity, but also manifesting a clearer sense of what it means to be human. Such is one of the reflections wrought by this week’s readings. Continue reading →
