    …In product development, everything is connected, and there are always tradeoffs and unintended consequences. Sometimes those tradeoffs are technical. Things can’t always be built because engineering decisions made long ago preclude certain new directions, or would lead to a lot of “tech debt,” which basically means a lot of stuff someone will inevitably have to go in and fix in order to do this new thing. If only everyone understood what Leah Reich stated so delicately in this piece. Continue reading →

  • Peeled Thoughts Rarely Shared

    Peeling from some untold thoughts… I saw the AiPin and iPad as complimentary to each other… and yet a different paradigm than mobile & laptop (which I also see as complimentary). I look at all of the “incantations“ that make up everything from basic writing to coding applications to now prompting, and I see a desire for friction to be even further reduced than what might be possible in this moment.

    Where does all of this behavior change end up taking us? Right now, many feel as if emerging tech has them waiting for an airplane to take off. For others, they’ve been on the tarmac directing or operating the support systems for such vehicles to take flight, but might be thinking they are the pilots and traffic controllers (misshaped perceptions perhaps). Where might you be in this scenario? Where should you be? Continue reading →

  • Articulating Something Through the Noise

    Perhaps, seeing Google I/O meant that reflecting on what has been said and done in the past is an order. Here’s what we spoke about last year that’s showing in Google’s, OpenAI’s, and other news about the tech landscape: LLM Hardware and Muse AI as Accessibility Tooling Re-Engineering AI/ML Complexity Noted from Humane AiPin Use Implications of AiPin and Oura Connectivity Heh, and that’s just last year’s musings… going further back we could probably articulate a few other nuances lost in the noise.

    Sharper and sharper we go. Either there’s focus or there’s features. Struggling with either just means sharpness is needed. The interview with/about Muse really highlights this. Also published: Video: How Muse Fits Avanceé’s Workflow A View of This Connected Time Continue reading →

  • A View of This Connected Time

    Many people have complex relationship with connected devices. I do not. Using these devices, and in many cases, seeing the positives and negatives at the same time, comes extremely easily. Of late, I’m looking at the space of AI devices. The Humane AiPin I called “a secretary” because of the way that I could manipulate audio responses and multiple notes to give me insight about topics and researching or people I am coming to converse with.

  • Video: How Muse Fits Avanceé’s Workflow

    Some weeks ago sat down with Adam Wulf, maintainer of the Muse app which you see used with the [Notable Reads posts] to talk about how Muse is used for Avanceé and a few other items. View the chat on YouTube Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 9 May 25 🔗

    From insightful discussions for small business leaders to discussing how Muse is used by Avanceé, it’s been a pretty intellectually stimulating week. Taking the time to ensure that some of those items have a place to settle, create a space to remix them into a canvas for upcoming opportunities.

  • When Do We Get to Molding

    Watched three gentlemen at a coffee shop who pulled two tables together, with paper and laptop laptops spread out across them talking business. Wasn’t so much interested in topic, but I paid attention to how they were using the space to interact and manage their discussion. There were hand motions from one person. There was pointing at paper and shuffling between files with another person. All of them had a piece of their eye going towards the laptop, which had a privacy film on it. Continue reading →
