Notes from the Future’s Margin
humane semantic scaffolding for situated cognition And then there is also… how humans maintain continuity of meaning while remaining present inside lived environments These are bits from convos with LLMs on further implications and through-lines of what we’ve been playing with. What’s really interesting is how older pieces speak to what’s also happening. For example, this piece wishing there was a hardware compliment for Evernote speaks to a kind of canvas-hewn, cognitive infrastructure which really bends well away from what folks are doing or speaking to even now.

Brilliant Labs Updates Frame (and Halo!) SDK Docs & Thoughts.
Lots of new energy hitting the scene for us following the Brilliant Labs’s announcement of updates SDK docs. I noticed something a few days ago when poking about the Frame 👓 SDK for the concierge PWA experiment we’ve been doing. So it’s neat that there is indeed an update to things, along with a shift from “project” to “platform” in tone. Going to be interesting to see/read (feel?) what some of you come up with.

Uncovering Capability Architecture
Borrowing and extending from a few chats w/LLMs… …am liking a direction my recent work has been going: interpretive anchors around concepts like: invitation-based systems, contextual computing, trust surfaces, and human-centered operations It might sound a bit “deep,” or “complicated” here. But truth is, I’ve pushed away from stages like LinkedIn to orchestrate a more durable way forward. That’s meant building a new (to me) identity framework. That’s meant a credential branch for LLMs/agents to work with that’s prescribe to how id like to be engaged, not how to extract from my signals something else. Continue reading →

Thinking Spaces
Over the past weeks, I’ve been finding something of a flow with some new experiments. Between LLMs and Muse, I’ve been pushing the canvas a bit more into the cognitive-augmented spaces. In doing so, it’s causing insights to begin peeking out of the ground. The latest of these exposed in paraphrasing a comment during the previous week’s notable reads: I use devices as thinking surfaces—places to temporarily hold and shape thoughts so I don’t have to carry everything in my head while working.

Why Organizations Don’t Need More Strategy — They Need Structural Integrity
Most organizations fail to execute strategy not because the strategy is wrong, but because the structure carrying it cannot hold. Continue reading →

Musing on Embedded Leverage
Last week was decision architecture. This week, “Embedded leverage.” When trying to ascertain what it is that this initiative can offer to anyone, there are a few phrases that we used to kind of get people to understand what it is they may need/what it is we might be able to do for them: Executive architect Strategic program catalyst Internal transformation lead with executive access Special projects operator reporting high in the org None of these are particularly glamorous.

Using LLMs to Create Reusable Content
Tactful AI/LLM use is what I’m hoping for… Was sitting here looking at a few older emails, and there’s one of a bike shop owner asking if there was a flyer which has a bit about the state’s laws on e-bikes, helmet use, and general cycling law. Yes, there’s what BikeAAA (Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County did, but nothing larger in scope or a bit easier to grasp. Continue reading →

Musing on Decision Architecture and Misalignment
One of the ripples which came out of the sales summit we attended last week was a distinct sense of being a bit ill-fitted for the occasion. Don’t get me wrong, there’s def some better sales activities which needs to happen - and this was a great venue to understand what types of things folks might be listening for. But, what I came away most with is a lack of a means of moving from “operator” aspects to “architectural” ones. Continue reading →

Reflecting on HTML As A Canvas
For as long as my “internet brain remembers,” I’ve always had some kind of weird web projects happening. Weirdly, or maybe per my nature, it’s usually been about pushing HTML use in ways which make sense eventually, but are hard to explain while crafting… …when I swapped life from a Dell laptop to a Palm Treo & keyboard, it was HTML docs because “Office docs” were cumbersome, slow, and ultimately got converted to web formats anyways.

Bots vs Scribbles
Am composing this on macOS with a wireless keyboard. Mainly because it’s a tick closer to me than the iPad and Pencil. I prefer the latter. There, in between the scribbles, is the space where synthesis meets thinking meetings “ah, yea, we don’t wanna go that way.” On the other hand, typing is more direct. You type, there might be some autocorrect, there might be some more typing, and then you delete… its very linear. Continue reading →
