  • Avanceé Reads for 10 Oct 25 🔗

    Doing this thing we’re watching the seasons change, evaluating the prospect that much about what’s being pitched as coming next really isn’t telling the entire story. Congrats to Muse for being selected as Apple’s app of the week. Perhaps we are a part of how Muse was noticed 😁 Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 3 Oct 25 🔗

    Seems as if the season shift is also coming with a requiem for several instances of life. Lots to account for for some of us. Lots to brace for the rest. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 26 Sept 25 🔗

    Have had a few other things going on this week, but, that’s usually not a problem for distilling reads and such into a mosaic of reflection. Also published: On AI Tools and Focus Continue reading →

  • On AI Tools and Focus

    One of the tools talked about during this month’s Sales Effectiveness Roundtable (Central Maryland Chamber) was the use of AI/LLMs to do some of the work of qualifying connections and business research. And while doing a “search” is normative, it’s more impressive when you can dive into analysis models which go a bit deeper to focus contexts for connections. One of the tools (when am on the Avanceé Agency R&D device) is a web browser called Dia (The Browser Company, Atlassian). Continue reading →

    A bit late on this week’s posting… can I be like Meta and blame the wifi for this 😜 Also published: On Small Experiments Thoughts About Meta Connect’s 👓 Product Announcements Continue reading →

  • Thoughts About Meta Connect’s 👓 Product Announcements

    Shared this on a few other spaces, so it made sense to also note here. Pasted without much of an edit. excellent updates to the Meta-RayBans from a specs end. These have been a sneaky buy for many. the two Oakley models are solid. The HSTN remind me of the exact use case my Snap Spectacles have served for years the Oakley Meta Vanguard will make some run/hike/bike shops step up their game in terms of selling connected 👓 and the Garmin/Strava integration is 🤌🏽 I’d love to see bike computer head units connect directly to the Vanguard 👓 The Meta RayBan Display 👓 def stole the show.

  • On Small Experiments

    Was listening to a book review from one of our partners earlier and they mentioned a book which focused on adding small experiments into one’s life to help break down larger tasks, or remove the barriers causing procrastination so one can discover some other aspects to their processes, work, and/or life. This reminded of the consistent practice here of doing lots of research and experiments around physical-connected devices and spaces with a goal of looking at the ripples of identity, experience design, and social interactions.

  • Avanceé Resds for 12 Sept 25 🔗 🔮

    Currently sitting in a workshop which is talking about using AI in small business. One of the non-AI bits which hits in these moments is the simple conference badge. There’s more which can be done with them, like this where one can be encouraged to stretch further into a physical-web. Interesting how this week’s reads correspond to this. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 5 Sept 25 🔗

    Spent the day exploring how HUD glasses 👓 (without an LLM attached) might flow with things. The EverySight Maverick DE is such a solid hardware package. Would really be wonderful to see it integrated with a few other accessories and activity contexts. But that’s just the shape of things in the wearable space now isn’t it? Perhaps there’s something else beyond the lenses and layers to graft… Continue reading →

  • Next Up

    We try not to make too much about the metrics/statistics of this effort. A good deal of what this initiative is about has to do with taking the diverse and innovative, mental, connective tissue of one person and turning it into exploitable opportunities for others. This tends to dissuade folks who may be looking at this effort as some kind of evidence of other artifacts or evidence of being able to be used for something else. Continue reading →
