  • The Appendage Conundrum

    As we pulled up to the mall, Steve felt there was something he’d show me. Little did he know, I was going to use this context to show him what he didn’t understand about mobile. We walked into the mall and proceeded to stores he was familiar with. There were a few companies to which he wanted to check out due to the project we were working on. His mindset was that the TV screens were the important interface for this effort. Continue reading →

  • Links for 29 June

    The future should be described in more optimistic terms than perhaps scholars or the entertainment industry has put forth. Looking for those different tropes is a bit easier said than done. The way this week’s links are put forth, it will be more up to the reader to put together their ideal future, rather than live with the results of other’s methods of dictation. On to the links: A Peek Inside the Niantic Real World Vector Podcast No. Continue reading →

  • Tools on Deck: Adobe Comp CC

    The tools used on Windows and macOS machines just aren’t usable in the same manner on Apple’s iOS devices. That has required some shifts, and has shaped some exposure to some tools in a different light than what they might have been initially marketed towards. Speaking specificity, Adobe Comp CC has become that tool. And yet, it largely goes unnoticed because this type of use is not what you do on a tablet. Continue reading →

  • Links for 22 June

    Finding this week’s links light in terms of quantity, but heavier in terms of context and implications. In some measure, the gaps exposed by not completely understanding tools, processes, and their knitting theories presents an opportunity. Some things are easier to figure out after the fact. Apple Is Figuring Out What’s Next via Above Avalon UX Upgrades for the Airline Industry via Dean Gonsalves Moving Design Beyond Pictures via Angular Blog And a few from us: Continue reading →

  • Exploring ‘Digital Humanism’

    There are a few terms worth talking about — or maybe it is just the phrase which needs to find its way beyond the unexplored shores it speaks towards — and that is the term “digital humanism.” It is a subject we will be speaking on for a few months as there’s something brewing in that space towards Avanceé’s offerings and so it makes sense to start to suss out what the term means (at least right now), and where we might see it go from being “unexplored territories” to “way of existing fully.

  • Links for 15 June

    A week away from things, slightly unintentionally. Having been given a closer-than-usual seat at the start of a life, one can see these pauses as an interruption or a challenge, but there’s also some strengthening in the model which comes. A blog should probably not apologize for missing its cadence, and yet that kind of personal interaction enables those who have an attachment to realize they aren’t the only ones surfing these waves.

  • Notes As Art

    As has been the case for the past few weeks, the top of the week has been regarded as the space for the week’s long-form piece. It makes sense to put the heavier items at the top of the week where there could be additional contemplation or discussion while also allowing for the work of the past to shift the present and future accordingly. This week’s long-form will be a bit different as we’ll link to a contributed piece posted last week at the website Painfully Hopeful. Continue reading →
