  • Identity and Instinctive Travels

    What happens to fall inside or outside of the work to be done might be considered a distraction. As part of building a discipline of activity to define Avanceé and its market value, there’s is a bit of attention given at this stage to following instinct, not just process. Process is not pushed aside, but it is empowered by following the shades of what isn’t so easily defined. A conversation about workspaces and cadence turns into a conversation on the nature of names, etymologies, and ancestry. Continue reading →

  • Twitter Posting Gone Awry

    Now that’s interesting. For some reason, posting to Twitter stopped happening a few days ago. It looks like cross-posting wasn’t turned on, but don’t remember turning it on as items were hitting Twitter auto-magically… 🤔 For items to hit both the @microblog timeline and Twitter is somewhat necessary (for now). Will need to investigate this before next week’s thoughts hit the stream. Continue reading →

  • Links for 20 April

    Back again with a few links which have made something of influence here and there throughout the week. At the same time we share them, there’s also a shifting happening a bit behind the scenes — the links do have to lead somewhere you know. The Future of Well-Being in a Tech-Saturated World by Pew Research Discipling Play: Digital Youth Culture as Capital at School via The University of Chicago Press Journals How the Walkman Made Us Who We Are and Why We Need to Redesign Desires Beyond Tech Algorithmic Impact Assessments via AI Now Institute The Facebook Trials: It’s Not “Our” Data via Marginal Revolution There were a number of items pushed here this week from us; one part of that starting tweets here, another part in keeping the long-form writing as a focus of what’s put forward.

  • Current vs Currents

    Composing this as the start of yet another Excel class is about to begin. The framing is simple — to get a company of people who do various transformations and reporting with data to have the same floor — yet the feeling is not one where there has been much movement. An outsider teaching others how to use their tooling to do some aspect of their work feels like a bit of greaseing the wheel for a train which will never be moved forward. Continue reading →

  • Algorithmic Impact Assessment Framework

    Interesting Algorithmic Impact Assessments via AI Now Institute - via Benedict Evans’s Weekly Newsletter The Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) framework proposed in this report is designed to support affected communities and stakeholders as they seek to assess the claims made about these systems, and to determine where – or if – their use is acceptable.

  • NACTO Guidelines

    Reading - there’s a good bit of insight towards cycling & public transport I’d not seen before (had convos however). Frictionless site design too. National Association of City Transportation Officials Urban Bikeway Design Guide Continue reading →

  • Wavelength

    Totally late on this (as usual), but it looks like there’s a podcast client created by Micro.Blog’s inventor Wavelength Been thinking about doing a podcast alongside Avanceé (was looking at Anchor.fm) but this would be better for too many reasons. Not sure yet, but… Continue reading →

  • Thought

    Spent the week developing a Twitter/Medium strategy for a group. Sketching the blueprint was good for this moment; but the blueprint is only 25% of the journey. Getting folks to append/change their activities is the scripting of what’s next. Continue reading →

  • Links for 13 April

    Sometimes, milestones and reflections are more for yourself than for others. But, its certainly interesting when we hear about other’s moments of reflection and contemplation and it creates the impetus to engage in similar moments for ourselves. Its on this framing this week’s links land. Cameroonian Artist and Japanese Designer Collaboration for Stunning Kimono Line Job Description by Luke Wroblewski’s Twitter How Do We Build 21st Century Business Skills Increasing An Organization’s UX Design Maturity: Our Not So Secret Sauce Our contribution to this week’s learnings: Continue reading →

  • Cutting New Roads

    Somewhere in the weeds, or maybe beyond the bushes with the hard bristles and leaves, is that thing you and your team have been looking for. This isn’t a prophecy saying that you are looking; nor is it an inevitability you will be there when the rest of your team finds it. This is just an acknowledgement that the space between current state and ideal state isn’t exactly a road which has been paved before. Continue reading →
