  • Links for 27 July

    Lots of flooding — both in rainfall and information — across various timelines this week. It’s almost as if the summer has found something of its own pace, and we aren’t used to it heating up to something a bit different. Perspective, or what we notice or don’t notice about the nuance of contexts, frames this week’s link share: Don’t Ban Scooters, Redesign Streets via Curbed The Etymology of Parking via Michele Richmond Color Me A Dinosaur: This History of Crayola Crayons, Charted via Data Pointed Chart Party: Using Automation to Eliminate Image Drudgery via Six Colors The iPad vs. Continue reading →

  • Mobility

    There’s much change happening about transportation. In urban areas, the technology which has fueled the hockey-stick like acquisition of smartphones, has upended ride-hailing, personal, and public transportation options. In the macro-industry view, advances in automation are challenging everything from where autos are sold, to the repetitive tasks (and resulting health concerns) of those who put those autos together. More than simply responding to oil versus electric, there’s just a shift happening in and around transportation which could be looked at as part of the same shift which started with steam, bicycles, and industry in the late 1800s.

  • Links for 20 July

    Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what exactly you might be trying to avert your attention from, there are some news and notes which just make their way into your viewing lanes. You can decide what to look at, what to hold onto, and what to discard. You can’t always decide the immediate value of what just took hold of your attention. This is the harder lesson of filters/boundaries. One in which this week’s set of links seems to shine the appropriate light towards: Continue reading →

  • Project Idea: Wellness Enabler

    Had an idea earlier this year about purchasing a health company (I Should buy A Digital Health Company); haven’t really moved from it, but have put some work into sculpting what exactly about a health company enables Avanceé’s vision… …it’s deeper than organic. Wellness as enabler 🤔 Continue reading →

  • Blockers and Filters

    In one of our recent projects, we are mapping workflows which are no longer being used due to organizational and staff changes. In doing so, we’ve been doing some light assessing of what the organization has been doing since those workflows and methods were compromised. What we find is what’s true at every company, people find a blocker to a way of working, and like water, they seep around the walls until there’s a better route found. Continue reading →

  • Links for 13 July

    Travel and sickness often makes for unusual insights. Then again, there are some questions we don’t ask when we are well because we are strong enough to be stubborn to ignore them. At least, this seems to be parts within the theme of this week’s links: Can Meditation Really Make the World A Better Place via Aeon Intel’s Toxic Culture via Monday Note Did Blogs Ruin the Web; or Did the Web Ruin Blogs via Kottke -Why Hasn’t Graphene Taken Over the World via The Verge - Video And one from us: Continue reading →

  • On Workflows

    Many years ago, the word/phrase to be found around the workplace was “workflow.” Between the many folks selling workflow solutions, large companies making initiatives on top of initiatives in order to improve/measure/etc. workflow, and the various technical languages which jumped the shark into being “workflow enablers” for those who needed a bit more agency, it was a another one of those fervor moments you could only just sit and wait it out.

  • Links for 6 July

    Independence is an agreement, but not an inevitable decision. At least, that’s how it feels when looking at the links for this week: Simple Self-Driving Shuttles Become First Robot Rides in Detroit via Bloomberg Ridehail Revolution: UCLA ITS Dissertation Examines Discrimination and Travel Patters for Lyft, Uber, and Taxis What Happens When A Computer Runs Your Life via Medium The Connectomes Revolution via Edge Framing Trust via Twitter thread And just one from us this week: Continue reading →
