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.

Links for 30 Nov
There’s a different pace to the end of the year. For some, its about making sure that the mistakes and opportunities of earlier in the year are taken advantage of.

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).
