    Posted in the Muse Discord (5 June 24) Every time I click the three dots (usually to change the title or do the connector) and launch into the object versus get the menu,I wonder “what would Muse have evolved to if it didn’t have pointer/mouse affordances like this as a first interaction, but as a … read more

  • Fluidity in Adapting

    I often use the phrase “ahead and behind at the same time’ to describe what some have describe as my posture with tech/connected living. It is something of a backhanded comment to myself, hewn from the days when I wrote for BargainPDA/Brighthand. It means a feeling of being in front of a change, and … read more

  • Thinking Matter Expert

    Chatting w/a developer-manager and a data analyst about my Humane AiPin, and one of the phrases which came to the convo was that of a “thinking matter expert.” A spin on subject-matter-expert, and contextual to the sharpening of thinking which some of us prefer to see LLMs, GPTs, etc utilized … read more

From reviewing the specifics of FIDO2, to attending a few security and identity workshops/conferences, there’s this sense I’m one part … read more

  • Designer’s Evolution

    Spending more time contextualizing the tooling and behaviors other functional units are supposed to have mastery of than manipulating the time/space/components/etc which unlock human capacity.

  • LLM/AI Hardware and Muse

LLM/AI Hardware and Muse - Discord 29 Mar As I am close to receiving my Ai Pin (and sorta of the assumption a few here might … read more
