  • Nuance and Apple Watch Series 4

    Reading, listening, and watching reviews of Apple Watch Series 4 For as much as reviewer’s who have had a limited amount of time can speak to features, usability, and even nuance seems to be missed. The clarity of what Apple is doing seems to be only alluded to buy a few. Perhaps there’s room for a different take… Maybe not a review, but a different kind of perspective amidst the noise 🤔 Continue reading →

  • Sketch2Code Homework

    Doing some homework around @Microsoft’s #Sketch2Code for a bit today. This is the kind of action which could easily be a workflow/Shortcuts action within an app like @fiftythree @FiftyThreePaper — for simply conveying the initial steps of a concept the way we work at least Continue reading →

  • (re)Starting with New Assumptions

    Have had a number of positive conversations since starting on this Avanceé journey. For the most part, conversations have been positive. Something about someone focusing on their own narrative, while also being open to sowing into the lives of others, has something of its own pay off. At the same time, Avanceé was started to become its own endeavor. There’s strategy and case studies, there have been concepts and histograms, and yet the things being thought through are still a bit further out there than what is being done in the world now.

  • Links for 14 Sept

    Clouds and rain seem to make something of a calming moment for many. For others, clouds and rain portend a change. Whether things are going to not be as they were, or that the change which was going to come isn’t. As much as we sometimes see the former, its the latter to which its harder to figure out when under the clouds and not on top of them. With that, here are this week’s links: Continue reading →

  • Normal Until Disaster

    Natural disasters often spring thoughts of what works and doesn’t work about the normal processes and tools we utilize. Needing the movement of electrons to power processes might make some things visible, but also endears us to segments of living which are not as easy to keep grounded. Continue reading →

  • Livability As Productivity

    Avanceé has accidentally been speaking towards two roads, design as normative to computing and productivity’s redefinition. Most of this is tied to some simple and straightforward observations across several industries. Yet, even these two tracks point to a better or more perfect definition of the “living outside of the box” kind of innovation: livability. There’s something interesting about many USA/NA conversations about areas such as transportation, education, etc. — a lot of it centers around “what does it mean to be productive? Continue reading →

  • Links for 7 Sept

    There’s this stretch of life which happens right at the end of summer when many folks start picking up the pace. An anxiousness to the end of the year? Catching up and getting back on pace because of summer breaks? Or, maybe something a bit more is happening. Whatever it is, there’s a cause for a quickening. That means a quick review here, and a launch into more for later. Continue reading →

  • Experiments Amore

    Going to experiment again tomorrow… been playing w/potential tweak to service offerings. Tomorrow will be a good measure of whether that net can be cast fully Continue reading →

  • Asking Better UX Questions

    Stumbled across a discussion about user experience (UX) and a new tool from Microsoft called Sketch2Code the other week. Had this to offer: It seems w/AI & ML we need to stop thinking about computers as “process/calc.” Rather, how they enable us to be better, while doing computing better. We sketch, they code. Can that turn into a positive for all? That’s the kind of questions I think UX should be trying to answer Continue reading →
