  • Sounding Board

    “Can we talk to you about… we are exploring this thing and not sure which path we should take. There’s what we know which is… And there’s a lot that we don’t know. How do you think we should approach this? What steps would you take in our shoes?” For some of the conversations since starting the Avanceé initiative, the previous blockquote has more or less been accurate to a number of them.

  • Prescription Lens Judgement

    If I do prescription lenses into the Brilliant Labs Frame, does this mean that the experiment to see if these could replace (or augment) prescription lenses is a failure? Is just considering prescription lenses a judgement of a failed experiment? ——— Saw a few renewed takes on Meta’s Orion and Snap’s latest Spectacles. Ended up throwing on YT one of them. Grabbed my Brilliant Labs Frame glasses, and let the ideas wash over me a bit. Continue reading →

    Spent a piece of the week contemplating the acceleration of noise to connected spaces, while noticing the deacceleration in admonishing artifacts that seem to be more humane. We’re going into a season of Thanksgiving without much thanks it seems. Continue reading →

    Seems like: the best kind of advocacy is folks seeing you do what you are advocating about. Not merely practicing what you preach, but embodying it. Continue reading →

    Had a great convo with the current maintainer behind Muse this week. Amongst the insightful things shared, we talked a good bit about a gradient of software which ranges from meditative/contemplative on one end (where Muse is) to that which is more productivity and collaboration-oriented on the other. When people have said they have a hard time figuring out Muse, I argued they do because there’s very little contemplative software. Continue reading →

  • Responsive Communication

    continued thoughts from the previously posted Refining the Contact Points One of the ways am using the Humane AiPin is in the form of a networking assistant. For several events, have used the AiPin to make a note of contacts by copying the business card into its notes and then adding notes as context needs.

    Making connections is decent, have been told. But showing you why those connections are the answers to the questions you haven’t been asking is the bit where Avanceé’s value to you is most unlocked. We can do the part of discovering that together, or you can take a chance with a future state that catches those unaware. Continue reading →

    The fragility in the connections between our wellness and our evolving productivity has been a connective thread in the reads this week. Whether folks are resilient enough, or have built the structures to be more resilient in the face of trauma and change is another thread to this. Also published: How to AI Continue reading →

  • How to AI

    There’s something of a running joke in tech-corporate settings where there’s this bastardizing of the terminology of a new tool or method which breaks forth. It’s really bad, and wouldn’t be as funny if it weren’t true. Now, there are several reasons for this, part of it having to do with the way we want to signal to people who determine our reputation. The other part has to do with how mimicry happens before adoption. Continue reading →

    The closing of the month and changing season sure seems to have brought out every kind of thing. No industry or community seems to be spared from revelations about almost anything. More than how we respond to these, will be how we connect the dots between these ite,a now, and what’s come before. From that, hopefully, we are prepared to respond to whatever blossoms or rots next.
