  • 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 →

    There’s been a stutter in terms of the opinion editorials for the warmer months. Most of that can be assigned to being on a bicycle and enjoying the sunlight. Because much of what connects the dots between things here happens in a space that’s not quite online nor completely off-line either. Existence happens in between the points, not just at the point.

    It really doesn’t matter where you might have dropped off, if you were doing things that are traceable, you can go back and pick up some of the dropped tools. Of course, you can only do that if the things that you dropped were a slingshot to push you forward. Continue reading →

    It seems as if the summer is full of challenges, surprises, and maybe a break in some of the heat. Well, the temperature, but not necessarily the pace of politics, design, and development. It’s probably gonna get a little bit hotter in those spaces before it cools off.

  • Applying Lessons Using Dia Skills

    We went back to the last article and applied a newly mentioned Dia browser skill by @FaCo9 to it. Impressive output… we might have a new “editor” on deck. We recommend checking the link to the skill to get all of the text necessary to reproduce it (and depending on your environments, you might be able to use this prompt within other LLMs Unlocking AI Engineering ROI and LLM-Powered Innovation When we experiment with large-language-model services, the same question returns: How do we make our work meaningful to real people?

  • Unlocking AI Engineering ROI and LLM-powered Innovation

    When playing/experimenting with a number of LLM application/services, one of the things that’s thrown at it is how to make this venture a bit more palatable to its respective audiences. Of the thing that all of the models certainly agree with is that there should be a little bit more discussion here about the case studies and experiments that happen. So this is one attempt to make good on an algorithmic expression/recommendation. Continue reading →

    Been playing with some new tools lately. Well, AI tools. And discovering that they are just a canvas and a different type of paintbrush. The ripples may extend well beyond this year. And at the same time like other tools, canvases will fade in time to be replaced by something else. Being married to methods rather than the tools is key.
